So the guy in charge tried his best to pair everyone up fairly. The first round Ratatouille raced against a large hamster. She started out great and then she turned around and started going the wrong way! She lost the first round. But luckily, there was an uneven number of contestants and he allowed her to race the last contestant as well. She rolled down the track like a champ and won that one! For the second heat she raced the tiniest contestant, a little tiny hamster in a little tiny ball. Man that hamster could book it, he was a pro!! But it didn't matter, because once again Ratatouille turned around and went the wrong way. :-( That tiny hamster went on to 3 more races and was the winner of the derby, he was fast!
Poor Aurora has not learned how to be a good sport yet (one of the reasons we do these things). She was pretty sad and started crying and told me, "I'm not gonna clap for them because I didn't win!" LOL That gave us a good opportunity to talk about being a good sport and not always winning but having fun anyway...and how this was Ratatouille's first time and maybe needs more practice. She was fine after that but said she was "very disappointed in Ratatouille's performance, she should have known better than to go the wrong way."
Getting ready for the race!
Practice Round
Go go go!

Not so happy about losing.
