A New Challenge for Pirates Online Forums!!!!

[Tiberius Fireskull]

I haz one!

There is an elderly man, and he has two sons. The elderly man is very rich, but close to death. He has to pass on his inheritance to one of his sons, and he wants them to have a contest to see who gets it. He says to them, "You will have a race. The person who's horse finishes in last place gets my inheritance."

After a few weeks, the old man passes away, and the two sons take their horses and run as far away from the finish line as possible. After a while though, they realize that this really won't do anything, so they go seek the help of a wise man. The wise man tells them something, and they go racing back to the finish line.

What did the wise man tell them? This one is challenging, and you must pay attention to some of the details.
