Racing mice raise thousands

GENOA – The pride in Chuck Nunn’s voice was apparent when he spoke of his fleet-footed sprinters.

“Sometimes they’re over in five seconds,” said Nunn, owner of Party Downs Mouse Racing in Wright City, Mo. “Other times they all just kind of sit there and chew on the wood until one finds the finish line.”

They may not be champion thoroughbreds, but 54 mice made for exciting centers of attention for curious spectators Saturday in Genoa.
