And They're Racing...

Thoroughbred Ham Chop is leading local boy Porky Pig and the rest of the field into the bend during this race at the annual Royal Show in Melbourne.
The pigs are about 18-weeks-old and perform to capacity crowds four times a day during the festival.

It wasn't too long before crowd favourite Bacon Bone took to the front.
More than 500,000 people are expected to see the pigs during the annual showcase of Australian country life.

The pigs also amaze the Aussie crowd by displaying their jumping and diving skills.
Here, young Bacon Bone saors through the air with the greatest of ease.
