here is the story, as I understanding it, behind the saying, " go for the brass ring " or " grab the bass ring "
Brass ring - Wikipedia
in real life:
the child/rider would lean out and attempt to grab it as they went by and if successful, got rewarded.
it came to mean:
"Grabbing the brass ring" or getting a "shot at the brass ring" also means striving for the highest prize, or living life to the fullest. It is not clear when the phrase came into wide use but has been found in dictionaries as far back as the late 19th century.[4][5]
