A Baptist decides to go to a racetrack just to watch the horses run. He wasn't going to bet on anything; he was there for the fanfare. However, he noticed a priest by the track blessing a particular horse. This horse goes on to win that particular race.
Again, he sees a priest by the racetrack blessing a horse who also goes on to win his race. This repeats itself a few more times.
The Baptist thought "Aww, what the heck" as he sees another horse being blessed and put all of his money from his wallet on that particular horse. However, after the start of the race, the horse runs halfway around the track, collapses, and dies. Stunned and angry, the Baptist marches down to the racetrack to meet with the priest.
"You were blessing all those horses, weren't you?" he asked.
"Yes," replied the priest.
"Then why did that particular horse die on the track?"
"If you were Catholic," said the priest, "you would've known the difference between a blessing and LAST RITES!"
