don't like the auction

Porky's father is a dealer in hay & grains. Porky is more interested in riding race horses. His father tells him to make a delivery to the race track. Instead of bringing home the money, he accidentally buys a sickly race horse named Teabiscuit. He decides to enter the steeplechase to get his money back.

I don't like the auction. I know that it generates a nice fully expected joke at the end. It is not reasonable and the joke is not enough. The guy should be auctioning off the horse. Why would anybody buy a rope? It's fine if nobody makes a bid for the horse. That could be funny. The rest of this is pretty good and it's fine.

Trivia
The horse's name, Teabiscuit, is a play on that of Seabiscuit, a real-life thoroughbred racehorse, ungainly and mistreated in his early life, who was rehabilitated by an empathetic trainer and, by the time of this cartoon, had gone on to become a racing champion and a sentimental favorite of the American public. The cartoon's story is an affectionate screwball parody and celebration of Seabiscuit's rise to fame.

Alternate versions
This cartoon was colorized in 1968 by having every other frame traced over onto a cel. Each redrawn cel was painted in color and then photographed over a colored reproduction of each original background. Needless to say, the animation quality dropped considerably from the original version with this method. The cartoon was colorized again in 1992, this time with a computer adding color to a new print of the original black and white cartoon. This preserved the quality of the original animation.
