A Day At The Races

Buck had never been to the races and so he watched with great interest to see how it worked.  At first the trainers put the greyhounds into their starting posts..

And then the trainers run to the finish line to get ready to pick up their dogs and the whole while the dogs are howling and barking wanting to run.  Next they release a mechanical stuffed rabbit that whirs past the starting gate (apparently the rabbit is named swifty) and the gates fly open.

Chasing 'Swifty"

They are lightning fast animals.

And it's all over in 30 seconds... simply amazing to see.
