Liars, Cheats and Other Proud Americans

"Drivers! Y'all know the rules... but for you newcomers this here's a fair race! Keep to your manners and let the faster cart pass! So now that's been said, y'all can get to runnin' each other off the road like always!"

- Race Announcer

 is a mission in Red Dead Redemption.

Story
Nigel West Dickens begs John to race for him and win so he can earn some cash.

Mission Prerequisites
Before this mission becomes available, the player must complete:
 * Nigel West Dickens mission: "You Shall Not Give False Testimony, Except for Profit"; and
 * Seth Briars mission: "Exhuming and Other Fine Hobbies

Mission Objectives
To complete this mission, the player must:
 * Ride with Nigel to the race.
 * Get in the horse cart.
 * Follow the course marked by the smoke plumes.
 * Win the race.

Mission Details
Ride with Nigel West Dickens to Gaptooth Breach for a horse and cart race. Once the race begins, the best strategy is to stay on the path at all times as this gives Marston's horse the ability to travel as fast as it can. Keep a close eye on the blue endurance meter to the left of the radar to make sure John's Horse is riding as fast as it can without being over exerted. A good rule of thumb would be to keep pressing X (PS3) or A (Xbox360) every couple of gallops after initially gaining full speed to keep the horse running as fast as it can without overusing the endurance meter. Follow the smoke trackers and finish in first place. Look at your mini map in the bottom left corner at the yellow circles to see where your next destination is. You get $3 and 200 fame for winning.

Mission Failure
The mission will fail if the player:
 * Assaults or kills Nigel West Dickens.

Trivia
