Instead of the classic "They're off!" and the clanging bell quickly obliterated by the sound of pounding hooves you hear "Theeeere goes SWIFty!!" and a mechanical rabbit by that name on the end of a pole whirs in front of the hounds, who pant frantically after it. The majority of races are sprints, and even the long races are over before you have time to tear your eyes away from Swifty.
