Most forms of gambling are illegal in Vietnam. Locals can participate in a myriad of lotteries or they can head out to the race track and bet on little horses ridden by what seem to be 25 kg teenagers. However betting on the ponies is only allowed on weekends, so there will be no Melbourne Cup actually at the racetrack this year.

And ponies they are too. No thoroughbreds out there
Another great aerial image :-)
I am surprised they have not made use of the land in the middle
" PHU THO race track ". It reminded me of childhood when I grew up 50 years ago and my father was an owner some horses there. He passed away when I was studying in the US and I could not go home for his funeral due to the long distance. God bless him.
I love Phu Tho.
