This year the Australian National Field Days is bringing you the best live action it can, with special guest MTV Racing and Diving Pigs performing throughout.
“Audiences can expect to see some very competitive racing between our girls,” said MTV Racing and Diving Pigs manager Sharleen Vandeleur.
“We have two racing teams, short distance and long distance.
“These girls are truly competitive, and you will get to see them push, shove, and cut each other off to get to the front!
“One of the biggest highlights of the show is our world-famous diving pigs.
“We have the only true diving pigs in the world!
“The reason that we have the only true diving pigs is that we do not force our girls to do anything, they do it all by themselves – a major part of our training, and why we are so popular and respected by all the major royal shows in Australia.
“We have two very special superstars who perform this spectacular feat, and you can even check us out in the Guinness Book of Records as we hold the official record for the longest dive by a pig,”
Pig racing is quite an interesting sport and Mrs Vandeleur believes it is actually a tradition in some countries and is now becoming a tradition in Australia.
“My husband Michael brought the concept of pig racing back to Australia after working in the United States for five years,” she said.
“Pig racing has long been a tradition there, with large b-double trucks travelling from coast to coast.
“We are the longest running professional pig racing in Australia today.
“It is an all-female racing and diving team.
“Our production has performed at every major royal show in Australia since 1995 and countless smaller regional shows and field days throughout Australia.
“We now have third and fourth generation families coming to see our show.
“I love seeing how competitive these girls can get out on the race track, especially as we get to know their individual personalities.”
Be sure to be at this year’s field days to see the Racing and Diving Pigs perform at 10.30am, 1pm and 3pm in M Street.
