Cockroach racing has got to be the craziest sport on the planet. So, how did it all begin?

The next day they had a race to see who was right. The crowd enjoyed it so much that cockroach races have taken place every January 26th since then! When I was in Kazakhstan, saw something that took my breath away. Horsemen riding at a gallop leaned down out of the saddle to snatch up a handkerchief from the ground - on the left, then on the right, again and again!
