Bender's Bounty
Bender's Bounty was a race horse that Bender bet on in 2014, [SABF16] Disputed canon after going back in time from 3014 to Springfield to kill Homer Simpson in order to prevent a group of rabbit creatures with Homer's D.N.A. from destroying New New York. When the horse was announced to be "way, way, way back" in the race, Bender shot a laser at it with his eyes, causing it and its rider to explode.

Bender went to the race while stuck in the past, because he had realized that he knew "the result of every horse race ever", and took Homer's daughter Maggie. He later gave her part of a sum of money that he was storing in her diaper ("here's your cut").
