DMCI*UAE displaces boys as young as three by robots.
Okay Walter, here is the question.
Since a camel which can be purchased for anywhere between $2500 and 800,000+ need to be ridden during races held tracks in UAE. Now while these camels were or are ridden in the main by young boys brought in from countries such as Bangladesh, etc. The Boys are being replaced by radio controlled jockey robots made from tubing and electric drills.
The questions are as follows:
1) Are you involved in racing camels?
2) Are you currently manufacturing robot camel jockeys? (Why does that seem like a silly question?)
3) Do you know anybody that races camels? Do you go to the races? Is it fun?
quote:
Buying camels at an auction — the S.U.V. carrying Mohammed had pamphlets from old auctions littered on the floor — requires heavy research (much as buying a thoroughbred does), and sale prices for camels can range from as little as $2,700 to about $815,000.
Feeding, training and housing a camel costs around $275 per month, according to Saeed Fayed al Zarie, a trainer in Dubai who oversees about 40 camels that are mostly kept in a camel community (a collection of low-ceilinged barns) near the track.

BakesWalter tried racing camels but found they were way to quick for him out of the starters gates.
