Racing was also a big sport in Sind but not car racing, mind you - horse and bull racing. As is evident in old coins and seals found from excavations of ancient civilisations - horses, bulls and camels commanded a place of pride. Not only were these animals helpful in domestic chores but also proved to be a source of mobility for their owners.

And with time, racing these animals turned into a lucrative sport and they were specially trained for racing. In fact Jacobabad in Sind played host to an annual animal fair where people from all over Sind used to take part with their prize horses and bulls in races. The English and the local elite of Jacobabad used to host lavish parties in the nights during these days. This fair used to attract people from nearby Khurasan and Qalat which were famous for their breed of horses just as Jaisalmer was famous for its fast camels and goats. Huge tents used to be erected at the venues where the more fortunate took seats to view the proceedings. The animals were decorated in all their finery and the winners were taken in a parade through out the town in a circus like procession complete with shehnais in attendance and flowers being showered on them like royalty in pomp and gaiety. The whole town wore a festive look during this event with gypsies and other small traders coming in from various parts of Sind to sell their wares to the huge crowds gathered for the event.
