riddle - Figure this out while I relieve myself


It tells us the winner when equines do race.
To my misfortune there's one on my face.


Our countries have many, some say full of gas.
My sister was one when completing her class.

The coin in my hand, just one has it got.


Up at the top it starts a great flow.

The one on my face is ready to blow.
