Bikini girls in 'horse' race

[GG]

THE Gold Coast Turf Club will lock bikini-clad women in barrier stalls and run them down the straight, to mirror a horse race, as part of a new novelty event.

The Australian-first publicity masterstroke, which some believe will take the city to a tacky low, will become an annual event at the first race meeting of the summer season, The Gold Coast Bulletin reports

Under the plan up to 150 women, who must wear bikinis and running shoes, will compete through a knockout system for a first prize of $5000.

The club hopes to attract athletes from surf and running clubs as well as fun runners.

The event is the brainchild of eccentric chairman Andrew Eggleston, and has been copied from America's famed Hollywood Park racecourse which holds a similar event with success annually.
