LAST week had Ted Walsh telling us go watch Peppa Pig, tonight we had an incident of two rabbits playing catch me if you can and getting down to business - on the racetrack!.
A pair of what appeared to be mating rabbits at Dundalk racecourse had a lucky escape on Friday night, and caused much amusement.
Post-match analysis - Martin Dwyer has a good look at the performance of two rabbits very much in love at Dundalk. No wonder there's a stewards' enquiry...#TheFridayClub

The pair ran on to the track in the straight and proceeded to do what nature intended.
As the runners thundered down the track in the 6.45 race, the distracted duo dashed off at the very last second – just as the field were inches away.
Happily, having sensed the danger, they were able to scarper behind the runners and off to safety.

The race was won by 2/1 favourite Sky Seven, who was ridden by Ronan Whelan, a jockey in great form on the night, winning three of the first four contests on the floodlit card.
