Horse racing = old news. We're placing our bets on sheep racing being the next big thing. The Sheep Racing Festival is an annual event on the Channel Island of Sark, where Guernsey's fittest sheep compete in the Grand National of furry white farm animals. The jockeys (ok, teddies) are dressed in racing silks, and guide the sheep to the finish line. You might make a few bob too – 'Dodgy Dave' offers decent odds, and you can retreat to the baa for a consolation drink if you lose. visitguernsey.com
