In Thailand's eastern Chonburi province, buffalo farmer Anan Chalermlarb is putting his charges through a different type of pace.
The 63-year-old has been involved in water-buffalo racing for 45 years, first as a jockey and now as trainer.
He said he forked out as much as 50,000 baht ($1,500) for a buffalo he named 'Dok Ruk', all for a chance of claiming the top prize at an annual event.
On the day of the race, Tuesday, more than a hundred water buffaloes dashed out and set off around the 200-metre-long dirt track.
