By Andrew Atkinson Leader racing correspondent.

A whole new meaning of “Run Rabbit, Run Rabbit, Run Rabbit, Run”! – when a mating pair of rabbits got amorous on a racecourse – during a race!

Talk about a case of “What’s Up Doc”!

Jockeys were left startled when they saw the rabbits mating at Dundalk in Ireland as they enterered the final furlong.

A Stewards enquiry indeed.
