Abu Dhabi: Child jockeys are banned and light-weight jockeys are hard to come by. No problem. Now, robot jockeys will solve all the troubles on the race tracks.I was fine until I saw the picture of the robot camel jockey.

But when the picture of the robot camel jockey looks like a blow-up doll...
As Jeremy from Barry Ween would say, "ROBOT! CAMEL! JOCKEYS!"
