Piggies

Went to a pig racing evening with the Oddfellows last night. The pigs were mechanical ones that the starter wound up and stood behind a wooden barrier at the beginning of a track with lanes. The pigs were all numbered, but one wag had also come up with names for them, such as Derek Trotter, The Hogfather and Sweet Sow. I bet on my lucky number 4, Streaky Rasher, without success until it won (naturally) the fourth race. I switched to other pigs for the remaining two races, but should have stuck with my lucky number as Streaky Rasher won both of those as well.
