Spectators watching sheep racing in the 3.20 stakes at the Big Sheep theme park and farm in Bideford, Devon. Six milking sheep, complete with woolly jockeys, take part in the races, which are run daily along a 250-yard (228m) course between Easter and October. The first sheep stakes were held in August 1990 and attract visitors from all over the world
