No hay cronómetro. Cada participante tiene el tiempo necesario para atravesar los tres metros de distancia que entre chupos y teteros busca el ganador entre los pequeños competidores participantes del ‘Derby de los bebés’.
Los padres acompañaron listos para empujar a sus queridos bebés en la pista instalada en el primer piso de un hotel de Manhattan.
El trofeo, en forma de pañal, esto año fue para Brooke, una bebé de 11 meses, venida de Dallas, Texas, que sin ningún entrenamiento particular salió disparada hacia la línea de llegada, cabeza gacha, a toda velocidad.
