A few years ago I went to Canterbury Park and watched dachshund races. Most of them just wanted to play but a few ran to the finish line as fast as their little legs could manage. There was also a camel race (marginally entertaining). The the real fun was the ostrich race with trained (horse) jockeys riding them. Or rather trying to ride them. All of the ostriches threw their riders before the finish line.
