stumbled on this article....bizarre "If you think Chihuahua racing isn't a contact sport, you missed all the action at the marina as dogs went astray, taking out parts of the course, and some minor injuries occurred when excited human animals out paced their short-legged friends, occasionally causing some grass stains on the dogs' stomachs." http://www.newszap.com/articles/2005/04/...

hahah cool article. Yes Emma would win, she's tough **** for a dog that is only 3.5 pounds. Here's the article: Peanut wins annual Chihuahua relay Winners of the third annual Chihuahua races show off their prizes and race-winning dogs. Second place winners Cherri Anderson and six-year-old Shawna Marfil with Chocolate, first place winners were 10-year-old Travis Becraft and 12-year-old Cody Becraft, and third place was Kathy Boswell with Tia Maria. Staff photo/Mark Young By Mark Young BELLE GLADE - The third annual Chihuahua relay race drew 35 dogs and hundreds of people to the Black Gold Jubilee held at the Belle Glade Marina over the weekend. Held by Doctor Noelle Savedoff, a Belle Glade veterinarian, the event has grown steadily over the last three years. "We had 35 dogs enter the race," said Dr. Savedoff. "The first year we had about 20 and people really seem to like it. We had close to 30 dogs register early and had dozens of last minute calls from people who wanted to get involved." While the races are named after the small Chihuahua breed, it was open to all dogs under 25 pounds. The only condition was that a pre-race examination was required, which Dr. Savedoff provided free of charge. The race was formatted into three heats with racing lanes set up at the marina. A leash runner began the race at one end of the course, dashed to where a second handler was waiting with the dog, the leash was hooked, and the second handler raced the dog back to the finish line. Finalists from each heat were declared and a final dash to first place was awaiting "Peanut", who defeated five other finalists for the first place trophy. Running Peanut through the course were Travis and Cody Becraft. Cherri Anderson and six-year-old Shawna Marfil ran Chocolate to second, while Kathy Boswell and her grandson saw Tia Maria take third. If you think Chihuahua racing isn't a contact sport, you missed all the action at the marina as dogs went astray, taking out parts of the course, and some minor injuries occurred when excited human animals out paced their short-legged friends, occasionally causing some grass stains on the dogs' stomachs. All in all, the relay races went without a hitch and turned out to be a real crowd-pleaser. This year's Black Gold Jubilee was said to be one of the best thus far and gauging by the number of events, booths, and packed crowds, it's easy to see why there were so many smiles on the day.
