Royal Ascot Goat Races

The goat races were on August 30th. Uganda's version of the Kentucky Derby/Royal Ascot Horse Races in the UK. Same principle - fancy attire, big hats, big bets, and an excuse to day drink - just sans horses, plus goats.

Racing doesn't appear to be much of a goat instict. Announcer soundbites: "And Attila the Goat has now stopped to eat grass. Oh, and here comes Goat with the Wind to join him. And Shergargoat..."

The full scoop on the goat races here. The pictures the tall people took and the Waiting for Transport photo shoot here.
