Adriana Smith's dachshund, Bucky, achieved an unexpected victory at the Meadowlands Racetrack Wiener Dog Derby after a disappointing last year. In a thrilling race with 79 other wiener dogs, Bucky demonstrated remarkable focus, finishing ahead in a field that playfully trailed behind. The derby featured heats of 30 feet leading up to a final race of 100 feet, and despite the distractions common among dachshunds, Bucky's determination, spurred by Smith’s encouragement, led to a spectacular come-from-behind win to the delight of approximately 2,000 fans.
"This was a nice comeback," Smith said of Bucky's performance Saturday at Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
"Bucky was going crazy because he really wanted to get to me... He was by far the fastest. You could see he had the zoomies."
