Saudi Arabia Camel Racing

Saudi Arabia Camel Racing Detil
Camel racing in the desert gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “jockeying for position” – because there aren’t any jockeys. Well, not human ones anyway.
Yes, in the 21st Century world of the dromedary derby in Qatar the ships of the desert have robot riders.
Trust me, the sight of a thundering herd of camels with 1ft high “jockeys”
on their humps is quite extraordinary.
And then it gets even weirder. For the mechanical versions of Tony McCoy are controlled by trainers being driven in 4x4s alongside the five-mile track just outside the Gulf nation’s capital Doha,
barking orders on walkie talkies and pressing the “whip” button every so often.
