When I see a banana peel at the stadium, I want to pick it up to see if there is a coin hiding underneath. This is fine when the banana peel is in my pet’s lane during a race, but picking up other pets’ banana peels can mean that Jane doesn’t win the race and we’ve lost 30 coins for the chance of winning 1 coin. Sometimes I pick up another pet’s banana peel only after he or she has jumped over it . . . though my own pet may fall down while I am minding someone else lane.

So we go to the practice races. The great thing about practice races is that there is no money at stake. You can pick up all the banana peels in search of coins. And even if your pet comes in third place, you walk away with 5 paw points. Practice races are also fun because you can take photos of all the antics on the racetrack — jumping, falling, etc.
