Muddy and fun: A very different kind of sleigh ride in Vietnam

ThanhNienNews.com - It's a weekend of fun, thrills and just enough danger for hundreds of locals and visitors at the largest Khmer bull racing festival in the southern province of An Giang. 
Dozens of bulls were brought in to compete in the annual event. They tried to outrun the others on a very muddy field. 


Some lost control and pulled their riders down with them. Some ran straight into the cheering crowds and scared quite a few people. 
But everybody seemed to have a good time, especially the winners, 38-year-old local Chau Chen and his two fearless bulls.
He received a 32-inch TV for winning the race.
Chen said he bought his bulls four years ago at VND110 million, just for racing. He said the bulls are members of his family.
