It all started with TriGuard Pest Control of nearby Renton, Washington. In just a few years, the company says, its annual group outing at the track somehow evolved into its sales reps sprinting down a horse track wearing floppy di- nosaur suits.“The first year, we attended the race in Hawaiian themed clothing,” said Cody Bennett, a TriGuard sales man- ager. “The next year we thought it would be funny to come wear- ing togas, and Emerald Downs was kind enough to have us race on the track in our togas. The dinosaur racing era began in 2017. The third, fourth, and fifth years we have raced in our T-Rex suits on the track, and everyone seems to love it,” Bennett said.
There’s no prize for the race winner — just bragging rights, Bennett says. Without going into detail, Bennett promised that next year’s T-Rex race would be even better, saying the company will find a way to “kick it up a notch.”
Emerald Downs holds other promotional races, including some that feature dogs — but if you’re picturing sleek grey- hounds, that’s a little off. Instead, think dachshunds and similar breeds for last week- end’s Weiner Dog Sunday. Other dogs have had their day: Emerald Downs reports that a mighty pack of 72 corgis took over the track on August 4 for their third annual race.

The homeowner chased Morrison out of the house with a stick. Morrison told Okaloosa County Sheriff’s deputies it was a merely “prank gone wrong,” but the little girl was left screaming and terrified.
Lt. Todd Watkins told Fox News: “I’m not sure what he was trying to accomplish. The prank thing didn’t really sound like it
was a legitimate reason.” Well, maybe this had something to do with it: When Morrison was ar- rested, officers found 2 grams of methamphetamine in his pocket, which may have contributing to a misalignment of his funnybone.
Morrison had a prior criminal history, including drug charges; he was charged with burglary and possession of methamphetamine.
