Summer special: The Golden Nugget Affair - a podcast by ABC Radio

The annual Uluru Camel Cup attracts a prize pool of tens of thousands of dollars, but is largely unregulated under NT law.

After a champion camel named “Golden Nugget” won the 2018 race in controversial circumstances, allegations surfaced that the result was rigged.

Reporter Alex Mann delves deep into the Camel Cup operator’s colourful past to investigate what really happened that day.

This is a repeat of a program that aired in July 2019.
