NEW KENT, Va. (WWBT) - It’s that time of year again, when the dogs head out to the track for the annual Wiener Dog Races.

This year’s race features 64 dogs competing for the $1,000 cash prize.

And there’s some extra motivation this race as the world-famous Oscar Mayer Weinermobile planes to make a special appearance at Colonial Downs.

The race is on Saturday, Aug. 23 at 1 p.m., again at Colonial Downs. General Admission s sonly $5, and children 5 and under get in for free.

“We’re really proud of the worldclass thoroughbred racing program we’re building at Colonial Downs, but there’s nothing quite like seeing a whole pack of Wiener Dogs barreling down the track, Frank Hopf, Sr. Director of Racing Operations, said.

Only competing dogs will be allowed into the track on Saturday.
