    The Twin Horses

    When the jockey Bill Sutton is found dead in an alley with an apology message in a napkin and a ring, Lisbon, Patrick, and the CBI agents are assigned to the case. Soon they learn that Bill was a violent man and had tried to reconcile with his former girlfriend, the waitress Delinda LeCure. Then, Lisbon and Patrick visit the track where Bill worked, and they meet the owner Cob Howell and the jockey apprentice Sam Starks. Soon the find that the place gathers gamblers, con-artists, and Patrick plots a plan to catch the killer.

    "The Red Ponies" is not among my favorite episodes of "The Mentalist". Fans of horse racing may like if more than I did. My vote is seven.

    Title (Brazil): "The Red Ponies"

    • Trivia
      Twin horses featured in this episode are called Castor's Folly and Pollock's Dream, according to signs on their stalls. In Greek and Roman mythology, Castor and Pollux (not Pollock) were twins who were transformed into the constellation Gemini ("The Twins").
    • Goofs
      Castor's Folly and Pollock's Dream are supposed to be identical, but when shown together on the track after Grace dismounts Pollock's Dream, Castor's Folly is a golden color, while Pollock's Dream is a deep rich brown.

      Kimball Cho: It's all an act with dogs. They do it for the food.

      Wayne Rigsby: Everybody does.

      Kimball Cho: That's deep.
