just curious why Steve Asmussen bobblehead is a bad giveaway?? the guy is probably the all time leading trainer there, plus he trains the best horse in the world.

How about this 'classic':



One Ebay seller's description:
"I HAVE USED THESE AS PLANTERS OR VASES OR MUGS OR PEN HOLDERS -- THEY ARE PERFECT FOR ANY OF THESE USES."

Shoot - the Dee Tee Chuckies are cooler than that!

And can be used as a planter, or vase, or a mug, or a pen holder ...

Personally I like the Seabiscuit mug/cup/planter. This is the one that gets my vote.
