Horse Racing in Iran

An Iranian man is counting money after a race at the Gonbad horse racing complex in Gonbad-e Kavus, 556km (345 miles) northeast of Tehran, on March 7, 2024. In Islam, it is considered perfectly halal for two horse racers or their agents to place wagers with each other. In Iran, people are acting as agents for the horse racers and are placing bets on the outcome of a race by purchasing contribution bills. (Photo by Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto)
