Sausage Race Predictions

Atention Race Enthusiasts!!  Miller Park is having three BONUS sausage races this week.  Season results along with more detailed bios are posted here.

For those of you who are too lazy to click the link, here are some brief intros:

#1, Brett Wurst is a bratwurst and wears green Austro-Bavarian lederhosen.
#2, Staush is a Polish sausage and wears dark sunglasses and a blue and red rugby shirt.
#3, Guido is an Italian sausage and wears a chef's outfit.
#4, Frankie Furter is a hot dog and wears a baseball uniform.
#5, El Picante is a chorizo and wears a sombrero.

Feel free to make your predictions for the winners below.  Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find Vegas odds for the races.

If you can't wait until tonight's race, you can play the Racing Sausage game here

P.S.  Supposedly they will be organizing some baseball games to go along with these races.  Unfortunately, I don't have a link to confirm this rumor.

Re: Sausage Race Predictions
The results so far this season:

Bratwurst 0
Polish Sausage 1
Italian Sausage 1
Hot Dog 0
Chorizo 1

I don't know if this means the 'wurst and dog are due, or if they're just slow.  

I'm predicting a victory each for the Chorizo, Bratwurst, and Polish Sausage.  But what I'd really like to see is them throw a racing perogie into the mix.

On a related note, The Sports Guy had a great column at the end of last summer documenting a trip with a few of his friends to Milwaukee.  It's worth a read.

Re: Sausage Race Predictions
You guys should try the video game.  It's good for a couple of minutes over lunch.

Re: Sausage Race Predictions
I always pull for the Polish b/c, unless I'm mistaken, he carries around a car wheel while he's running. That's the kind of inexplicable behavior I can get behind.

Re: Sausage Race Predictions
Or maybe he's just making a thumbs up next to his number. Hmmm.

But the sunglasses, that's an added bonus as well. What about Polish Sausage says "Sunglasses"? Everything.

Re: Sausage Race Predictions
I'm pulling for the dog, because I'm jingoistic like that.

Re: Sausage Race Predictions
Which is the one that got attacked by Randall Simon?  I'm pulling for that one.

I hope the chorizo wears more than just a sombrero, BTW.

Re: Sausage Race Predictions
The polish sausage wins the taste race, closely followed by the brat, and I'm hoping the sausage race follows suit. Go Staush!

This is going to lots more fun than a dot race.

El Picante.  Collective wisdom works again.

Re: Sausage Race Predictions
Interesting.  A controversial finish.

Re: Sausage Race Predictions
The Italian is a die-hard Indians fan.  I want to change my vote.

Re: Sausage Race Predictions
Is that right?  Well then I vote for the Italian for the rest of the series.

Wednesday Night Race Results
The Italian followed up his controversial win from Tuesday night with a more convincing win over the Brat (I think).  He goes for the sweep this afternoon....
