Passion on parade at 'best kept secret'

Horses round the track in the soft light of an afternoon sun as Riyadh's "best kept secret", the King Abdulaziz Racetrack, begins another weekend of action.

The horses of wealthy Saudis have been major players at the world's biggest racing spectacles, from Royal Ascot to Longchamp and Melbourne.

On home turf, Friday afternoon racing in the Saudi capital is a more low-key affair.
