And they're off as "Smiley" takes an earlier lead!
Followed by the sleigh!
And of course there's "Kitty-Kitty-***-***" and "Linberg's Ransom."
"Carrots on the brain" followed by "General Washington."
Of course that frog is there. There's "Grandma's Foley!"
Going into another curb. The sled is making a move for it now.
I don't understand how it's moving!
And "Carrots on the brain" that is one fast rabbit.
"General Washington," The jockey really giving it to "Grandma's Foley."
