Marathon quickie

EXT. LONDON MARATHON

CAMERA IS ON A PACK OF AFRICAN RUNNERS THAT USUALLY DOMINATE THE RACE.

COMMENTATOR (O.O.V)
And at the front of the chasing pack we have Mahatma Coat. He has won the race for the past three years but here we see him struggling to keep up with the leaders way back in fourth.
Now lets see how far behind the leaders they are.

CAMERA STARTS TO PAN OUT IN SEARCH OF THE LEADING PACK
THE LEADERS ARE REVEALED AND THEY CONSIST OF A PANTOMIME HORSE AND A MAN DRESSED AS A CARROT.

I assume the CARROT is leading, being pursued by the PANTOMIME HORSE.

Clever to say that MAHATMA COAT is in fourth, as there are two runners in the horse.

It works OK.
