"That Rabbit is Dynamite"

No, it's not a return of the Killer Rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but at Victoria Park in Wolvega in the Netherlands on October 25, a rabbit kicked some serious butt down the stretch the last time in the race.

To be fair, the horses raced the entire race while the hare came on the third time around so he/she was well rested.  Still, the rabbit didn't even run straight as if it was trying to rub it in the horses' faces.  I've been told racing in the Netherlands has fallen on lean times but this is ridiculous.

You can watch the entire race if you wish, or you can jump ahead to the 2:28 mark and watch the rabbit go.

No photo finish needed. He won by more than a "hare".
