First Mascot Race at Hastings Racecourse-Wingers

Besides my trip earlier to Disneyland this year, it had been one of those days where I was constantly giggling and going “awwwwww”.

First Mascot Race at Hastings Racecourse-Jack and Mr Fox

Jack from Vancouver Giants and CFOX rocks!

And I wondered if the mascots had cooling systems inside as they “warmed up” in the paddock. Jack from the Vancouver Giants was hilariously causing such a ruckus- he ran into Mike Head’s booth (track announcer) blocking the camera with his giant head,  he played around with Farmer Kin’s hat, rough-housed it with Mr. Peanut and many other hilarious things.

Could you bet which mascot won that day?
