Pig racing

Pigs race away from the starting gate.
Pigs race down the track.

Pig racing is a sport in which juvenile pigs race around in a small, enclosed area of either dirt, fake grass, gravel track or steel-framed enclosures.[1] This racing is usually purely for entertainment or charity, and betting is rarely part of it, as the races are family-friendly events.[2]
