In the Smurfs cartoon episode "Phantom Bagpiper", the Smurfs challenge Frugal McDougal, a greedy horse jockey who had kidnapped one of Milton McKilty's ponies as well as two of the Smurfs, to a horse race in which McKilty's other pony will be a prize to McDougal if he wins. Smurfette was chosen to be the jockey to ride McKilty's pony after the male Smurfs prove to be failures. During the race, McDougal did his best to slow down Smurfette and her mount so that she would never have a chance of winning. However, this was counteracted by Smoogle imitating the sound of McKilty's bagpipes, which the Smurfs remembered made his ponies run faster, and which gave Smurfette and her mount a much-needed boost to achieve victory over McDougal. When Smurfette did run the race, McDougal tried to go back on his promise to free the captured pony and the two Smurfs by declaring McKilty's other pony to be his property, but when McDougal's relatives revolted at the unsportsmanlike behavior he exhibited, he quickly changed his mind and honored his promise, setting free both the pony and the Smurfs.
