The story of this picture:

I went to the Alameda County Fair in Pleasanton. Naturally, I had to go see the pig races.
They seem to be ubiquitous at fairs, and I love watching the young pigs.
Obviously, they are food driven, with a treat at the end of the loop.

Actually, although the pigs are competitive, there is enough food at the finish for everyone.
So, the non-front runners aren't all that worried about not winning.

Nonetheless, they are a crowd pleaser and eveyone enjoys the show.
