Sunday was a wonderful sunny day here in Northern California. Susan and I spent the entire afternoon just outside of San Francisco at Golden Gate Fields race track. It is a rather historic track as one of the places Sea Biscuit raced. So did Susan and I decided to take in an afternoon of ponies?  Nope.  We were tempted with something better.

Dachshund Races !!!

We had the pleasure of watching 8 elimination heats of 12 Doxies each for a grand total of 96 weiner dogs! And let me tell you. These were 96 wagging tailed happy weiner dogs. They had a blast and the entire stadium roared in support. The place was completely packed. And this is a pretty big stadium.

They would race each group of Doxies in between each horse race. So it was a rather leisurely affair. The final championship race came down to the top 8 doggies for a grand prize winner. And that winner was a wonderful SPEEDY girl. Her owners won $350 and she won a fabulous new emerald green Doxie coat with Golden Gate Fields emblazened on it.

I video'd a bit with my cell phone, but it is hard to see the bitty dogs. LOL--you can hear alot of the yelling though :)
