Another time they went to Jan Roos in Midsland, the skipper of the Amsterdam-Terschelling cargo-boat, where the family enjoyed a warm meal. This happened usually on the day called "Sint Jan," or "Saint John", the 24th of June. It was a day for horse races, and the "lazy" Amelander, the de Jong family workhorse, participated.
One day, Hinne's cousin, Hermanus de Jong, asked Hinne's Dad: "Ome Kees, would you let me race with the Amelander?" He got a reluctant yes! So, Manus took the Amelander and tried him out on a lonely stretch of road. When a Midslander farmer saw that, he said: "Nou mut et net rarer wurre" or "Does it get any crazier than that?" He meant:" If the Amelander participates, than I'll get one of my cows to race him!"
The first race was at two o'clock. The Amelander won, and he won the second race, too. And for several years thereafter the Amelander won all first prizes. Those prizes consisted of rather expensive objects, which, for many years, were on display in the de Jong "mooie kamer" (front living room).
