Islay Corgi Wins Easter Derby, Steals Spotlight

0:00That wraps Europe news today brought to you with AI. I'm Cory with the story. A three-year-old Pembroke Welsh Corgi, named Ilay, just dashed to victory in the annual Easter Corgi Derby at Musselberg Racecourse in Scotland, all. Powered by the promise of hot dogs at the finish line, born in New Zealand, this speedy pup outran the pack on a day pack with fun. Her owner, Caroline Ricardo, a vet at the University of Glasgow and originally from New York, was thrilled but caught off guard. They only learned two weeks ago that his lay made the cut, and while the dog loves her naps and starts slow, she turns into a squirrel chasing machine. When motivated, dogs from all over joined the fun, like Sadie, who traveled from New Key in Cornwall and Naomi, born in China, but living in Glasgow. It shows how this quirky event draws a global crowd of short-legged racers. Now in its fifth year, the Derby kicked off back in 2022 to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's platinum Jubilee, Blending Tradition, with pure whimsy.
