A racing fan had a stag do to remember after a hilarious prank from his friends at the track.
Dressed in a multicoloured stripy suit, 'Rick' stood out from the crowd at Hereford races on Friday. But there was more to the day that just the fetching outfit, as his pals found another way to get him noticed. They named a race after a woman Rick described as his "original girlfriend" in an interview on Sky Sports Racing. As part of the countdown to the wedding, his group of school friends came up with the title of the first contest of seven on the card.
Their afternoon got off to an amusing start as the ' Rick Finally Gets Over Becky Novices' Hurdle' was run over 2m 5f. Before the runners headed to the start, Rick was tracked down by the TV channel's presenter and told viewers all about it.
