Pakistanian Derby- 20 Photos Of Camel Racing

Camels can run at speeds up to 65 km/h (18 m/s; 40 mph) in short sprints and they can maintain a speed of 40 km/h (11 m/s; 25 mph) for an hour. Camel racing is a popular sport in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Australia, and Mongolia. A major camel race in Australia is the Camel Cup held at Alice Springs. It is held annually and includes not only the camel races themselves, but also a collection of market stalls and other entertainment. Camels are often controlled by child jockeys, but allegations of human rights abuses have led to nationwide bans on underage labor in the UAE and Qatar. The biggest prize money camel race in Australia is the “Sheikh Zayed International camel endurance race” held in Hughenden in Queensland. It has a prize purse of AUD$50,000. Queensland also has the second biggest prize purse camel race “The Boulia desert Sands” with a AUD$25,000.
