The Sunday Share: When the dog thinks the race is too short
Today was Canberra Cup Day for harness racing, and in between races they had a variety of fun events, one of which was dachshund races.
Naturally, for little dogs with little legs, the races were very short. In the first heat though, one of the dogs was not satisfied with this very short race and wanted to continue on, having seen the horses go right around the track, and managed to take people on quite a merry little chase.
Alas I didn’t see who won the final as the weather turned and I went home before the Canberra Cup and the final of the dachshund races. Still, it was good to see quite a decent crowd for the race meeting. Afternoon meetings are unusual for Canberra harness racing as they’re usually evening meetings, but if today is anything to go by, Sunday afternoons might be a good way to attract more crowds in future.
