Photograph by James L. Stanfield
Thundering across a berm racetrack, camels hurtle their 8 year-old jockeys toward the finish line while Omanis in pick-up trucks follow alongside. Though gambling is forbidden in this Muslim country, prize money goes to the owner of the winning camel whose value could be as much as 50,000 rials, or US$130,000.
