It's true; "Rosie" nosed out "Red Stripe" for top honors. "Speedy" came in third.

Dieterich Village Clerk Brittny Gipson said her husband viewed video of the race frame-by-frame to officially determine that Rosie was the winner Aliza Brummer is Rosie's owner, while Brody Nelson owns Red Stripe. Gipson's son, Logan, owns Speedy.
