PHOENIX — Horse racing will not be the only attraction for attendees at Turf Paradise on St. Patrick’s Day, as camels, zebras and ostriches will join the action.
Although you won’t be able to bet on the camels, zebras or ostriches, the camel races were a big hit last year and the year before, so the race track decided to bring the unique animals back.
“The camels, ostriches and zebras are fan favorites,” said Turf Paradise General Manager Vincent Francia. “I just hope the horses don’t get jealous.”
