A punter on his stag do was thrown out of an Otaki racetrack for running down the home straight wearing a blonde hairpiece during a horse race.
This followed a court appearance for an Auckland man with a similar penchant for artificial tresses and a failed getaway.
The Upper Hutt man - who was decked out in a minidress and a blonde wig - was collared by security staff and ejected from the course.
"What he did was crazy," Otaki-Maori Racing Club racing boss Darin Balcombe said.
"If the horses had been running wide as they sometimes do during the winter, he could easily have been killed."
