Corgi Derby: Islay Wins Global Race

0:00In the tiny world of Corgi racing, a 70-metre sprint and muscle bird race course turned into epic drama on April 4. Three-year-old Islay, born in New Zealand, dashed to victory in the fifth annual Corgi Derby, beating out 15 tough competitors selected from over. Fifty entries. This event kicked off back in 2022 as a fun nod to Queen Elizabeth II's platinum jubilee and her famous love for Corgi's. What started as a one-off has exploded into a must-see, with dogs coming from all over the UK and even abroad. Islay's owner, Caroline Ricardo, a vet at the University of Glasgow, who's originally from New York, couldn't believe the win. They only learned two weeks earlier that Islay made the cut, and now she's the champ who chases squirrels like a pro but loves her morning naps. Competitors included Sadie from Cornwall and Naomi, born in China, but living in Glasgow, kicking it a global Corgi showdown.
