These are Pot Bellied pigs and trust me, they did not run. In fact once one of them finally left the starting gate and got out front, it decided it had to go to the bathroom so it stopped and did it's business. Eventually that pig got passed and once again when that one got out front, it decided it had to go to the bathroom so it stopped and did it's business. Now we have two of them lined up doing the same thing! Needless to say they all did this in the first two turns - all in a row doing their "thing". ROFL !!!! Finally after several minutes of all of us laughing like crazy at the pigs, one of them crossed the finish line and the largest "pink" pig was the last one to get back across the line dragging it's belly all the way!
