Wetherby Racecourse 26th April
A somewhat nervous tremor ran through the 76 other competitors when two Wetherby Lions were spotted prowling around. Peter Rabbit and a few of the smaller animals were especially worried but Ronnie the Rhino and Justin Beaver were not in the least concerned!
However, despite months of training and a suitable diet, visual impairment cost them the race – they couldn’t see where they were going!
Clarence and Simba, seen here before the race, nevertheless completed the course – that is they strolled up the course chatting, missed all the jumps and picked up their medals.
Clarence and Simba show off their medals!
Very many thanks to Tricia and Jan for taking part in this great event!
A very interesting and exciting tournament, congratulations to the winners! Well come to five nights at freddy's!
