Alternative act for the rodeo circuit: MS two men in ring, pushing along an ostrich, which has rigged on it a pony-style trap rig with two wheels. Sign on cart the bird is pulling says "Ostrich Races." It's a bright sunny day, and spectators are sprinkled throughout the bleachers. This would appear to be a carnival, as some sort of ride is visible over the grandstand. Camera pans to show two other ostrich carts in the distance, each guided by two men (it's hard to tell if they're getting the bird to move or trying to make it stop, but a struggle nonetheless). 01:00:15 THEY'RE OFF -- race starts, and we see that each bird has a driver on the cart. Good following shots of riders (one woman) as they go around the ring.
