A different kind of four-legged racer will be hitting the track at JDA Raceway this weekend during the ongoing Horses at Evergreen Park summer event.
The Horses at Evergreen Park planned for July 20th was called off due to an apparent “lack of horses to fill the field.” Despite the setback, event representatives say eight races will continue as normal on Sunday, with the highlight of the day being Barda Equipment’s Wiener Dog Derby.
According to officials, 26 wieners are set to race during the special event following heats two, three, and four of the horse races, with the top performing pups competing in the championship final after horse racing heat seven.
Numerous other special race days are scheduled throughout the rest of the summer including  Derby Day on July 28th when attendees are encouraged to dress in their finest derby clothes, Bacon Fest on August 4th, Memorial Weekend from August 10th to 11th, and more.
Racing begins at 1:15 p.m. on July 21st, and the event is free to attend.
