I like it.^^^ Penn National one time ran a lawn tractor race with jockeys driving from the 1/8 pole. Place has gone to the dogs, haven't been there in years. Our local county fair used to have a pig race, with monkeys as the jockeys.

I'm pretty sure that somewhere in our past River Downs, presently Belterra Park, ran the "Daily Double" race with horses on the turf competing with horses running on the dirt at equal distances. Result was the turf horses dominated.
