Hello Sports Fans!
  
Finn and Wally here and we will be your 'Junior Class' Race announcers.  
Arrrrrrrroooooo….. TESTing 1-2-3.
Arrrrrrrroooooo….. TESTing 1-2-3.
We are flying high above the race track in the Scottie blimpmobile on this beautiful sunny day.  
Purrrrrrrfect conditions for this racing event.

Now, we have two grrrrrreat races lined up for you today, starting off wiff our Junior Group which is made up of 1 - 5 yr olds.  Later in the day will be our Senior Group (6+ yrs old) which will be hosted by Stuart (da other Barkday boy).

So… let's get started!

In lane #1 we have Daisy
Daisy is our youngest racer (1 yr old) and a real speed demon.
She has been breaking all sorts of speed records in the puppy trials.
In lane #2 we have Ranger 'Danger'
Ranger is da Barkday Boy (2 yrs old) and itchin to burn up the pavement.
In lane #3 we have Greta
Greta is 2 yrs old and is so pretty in pink.  
Her racin strategy is to stay out front so she doesn't have to eat any dirt.
In lane #4 we have Misaki.
Misaki is also 2 yrs old and loves to race in her souped-up bumper car.
Warning:   If you're in her way… she might just bump you in to the wall.
In lane #5 we have Murphy.
And in lane #6 we have Stanley (Murphy's brother)
Des (2 yr old) Doddle brothers are very competitive and if dey work together, we may just have a photo finish.

In lane #7 we have Sweet William
William is 3 yrs old and is joined by his pit crew Bentley and Gailen.
He is not takin and chances of losin time to a flat tire.
In lane #8 we have our Downunder darlings Bella & Roxy
Bella is nearly 5 and Roxy is nearly 3.  Dis duo will be hard to beat. 
In lane #9 we have Shelby
Shelby is 4 yrs old and loves to cruise in the fresh air.
Don't be fooled by dat smile… Shelby is a scot and is a born competitor.
Lastly, we have Easy in lane #10
Easy is also a 4 yr old and his car is firing on all cylinders.
He's a bit mad, so anything is possible wiff dis frenchie.
Oh my…. dis is sooooooooo exciting!   Can you hear the roar of the engines on the starting line?

Vrooooom! VrooooooOOOOOOooommm!

Oh look… da Pace Car is now out on the track.








And yes, Ms. Kyla is driving our pace car.
Dar will be no false starts on her watch!
You don't wanta cheat on dis gal.
Kyla:  Follow me racers!
Are you ready?

Mollie, our Official (and beautiful) 'Race Starter' is ready to get this race rollin.
Get Set….. GO!
Der's the flag and the race is on! 

Murphy is off to a quick start and was first over the starting line.
The Barkday boy Ranger is right on his tail.
Woooooooh….. Greta is makin her move and just passed Ranger.

Woohoo…. look at the girls go !!!!

Stanley is chasing the Downunder babes and tryin to pass dem.
Shelby and Daisy are neck to neck in sixth place.
Sweet William and his crew are right behind the girls and Misaki is happily cruising in 9th place.

Oh no!!! It looks like Sweet William is having some tire problems again.   He pulled into the pit and his crew, Bentley and Gailen, are changing his tire wiff the help of Kaci & Kali.
Kaci & Kali are so happy to finally have a customer.
Bella & Roxy just passed Greta and are now in 2nd place.
Squirrel just flew past Easy.  S-Q-U-I-R-R-E-L?
Yikes!   Dar's a squirrel on da track!
The entire back field is really shaken by this development.  Daisy, Murphy and Shelby just drove off the field.
Misaki shouted 'I'll handle dis'!   WOW…. Misaki just put her paw to floor and flew past everyone and drove up right next to Squirrel and…….. she bumped him right of the track!  I've never seen anything like it.   What a girl!  She's my hero!
