Above, meet 'Jack,' also known as 'Flying Jack,' of Temecula, California, who will be racing on Thursday. Jack's racing career began in 2006 at Ocktober Fest in Huntington Beach. Jack did pretty well. That lead his humans, who were living in Orange County at the time, to continue to race him each weekend. GO JACK GO! Excerpt from The Californian: In a time when professional sports are marred with allegations of performance-enhancing drugs, Jack's success on the track can be attributed his performance-enhancing ball. Just the mention of the word B-A-L-L sends a shudder through his little legs."I don't know when his obsession came about; he is crazy about it," Leslie said. "He'll get depressed when we put the ball away." Read all about Jack at The Californian.
