Pulpy goodness

Death was eventually disqualified and barred from racing for making opponents burst into flames. His dreams of being a famous jockey dashed, Mr. Reaper went back to harvesting souls. He also made a passive income as a bee keeper.

Can only wonder what is happening down the track as the spectator and the cop seem to care less about the spectacle in front of them...and yes that is the do-nothing Phantom Detective passively looking on as usual.

The Phantom Detective didn't do nothing (Yes, I employed a double negative. Intentionally.), he bet heavily on the race. And won. No word on whether certain riders bursting into flames had anything to do with that.

I understand that with the winnings both he and death took a holiday.
