This year's Bay Nui Ox Racing Festival will have 64 pairs of oxen from the communes of Tri Ton, Ba Chuc, O Lam, Co To, Vinh Gia, An Cu, Nui Cam, Giang Thanh and the two wards of Chi Lang and Tinh Bien competing.
Mr. Chau Rot (residing in To Ha hamlet, O Lam commune) said: “I have been taking care of the pair of oxen and training for more than 2 months to participate in the race. To win a high prize, in addition to being in good health and familiar with the racetrack, the oxen and the driver must understand each other. Because it takes at least 3-4 years of care and training to have a pair of oxen competing.”

The pairs of bulls will compete in a knockout format, with the winning pair advancing to the next round. Each competition will have two rounds: the shouting round and the release round (main race) to determine the winning pair of bulls.

Mr. Le Van Moi, resident of Tinh Bien ward, shared: "I am training the cows to get used to the field. Today, I will not train them anymore to conserve their energy and prepare them to compete next weekend."
