Heels Over Head
The joy in a racing Jack Russell Terrier,
as seen at the Virginia Gold Cup Races.
They all 'run like hell' just for the fun of it. There's also another kind of race where they run an agility course chaseing a lure through tires, over fences, etc by themselves. Oh what fun to own a JRT. Their mainspring never runs down.
We used to race our dogs every year at The Washington International Horse Show. Our three were fast, won a lot and always made George Michael's highlights reel on the 11:00 news and the "Sports Machine" syndicated program. Then they started offering prize money and the human "competitors" made it un-fun. We were there for the dogs and the fun. We quit.

He knows he's safe with Little Nipper muzzled.
If I was Little Nipper I'd be running like hell away from Captain Crazy, too.
Seahorse ;)
