A girl (who is usually hot) that is used for "luck" in a real turtle racing event. Each contestant begins by having an attractive girl bend over and very slowly place (or "drop") a real living turtle inside the center of the racing circle which is the starting point of the race. There are many ridiculous rules such as "no bent knees" and "no pointing at the turtles" which is really just a device to get the girl to bend over for the crowd as much as possible. Usually the hotter the girl, the longer it will take for her to drop the turtle because the referee will find fault. Eventually, they offer helpful advice such as "spread your legs" so her knees won't bend while bending over.
