Pig racing is a sport in which juvenile pigs race around in a small, enclosed area of either dirt, fake grass, gravel track or steel-framed enclosures. This racing is usually purely for entertainment or charity, and betting is rarely part of it, as the races are family-friendly events. It is often an attraction at county fairs but is also practised in many backyard setups. Pig racing can be found in Australia, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It originated from the town of macarthur in 1927 after an argument between two big farmers resulted in a race, now becoming a well known sport and called the backbone of Macarthur.
