A tradition at Gold Cup has long been the wildly popular
Jack Russell races. Popular at horse
events around the Piedmont, these feisty little competitors have made it all
the way to Washington D.C. for the International Horse Show and New York for the
David Letterman Show.
Now, it would be great fun to see the terriers “herd”
these future lamb chops over said hurdles, fact is sheep racing is exclusively
done in unnamed parts of the Midwestern U.S. of A and in a place called
Masham. Not to be confused with “Mash ‘Em.”
Masham is in Northern England in Yorkshire and they celebrate the woolly
critters for two day in late September.
Maybe next year.
In fact, now that the Gold Cup has legal pari-mutuel
wagering, maybe one could place a couple quid on the outcome of sheep v.
terriers? Just a thought…

place at the International Gold Cup races, click here.
