There are three stages to preparing a camel for a race :
Selection is based on the camel's quality, pedigree and age.
The camel undergoes continuous training until it is familiar with a racetrack, as well as with the crowds of spectators.
Al Qals: A young camel is towed behind a trained one during a race. After a while, the young camel is released from the rope with aspirations that it will continue running of its own accord.
