A horse racing event in Australia had to be postponed last week, after the track was invaded by a group of kangaroos.
Due to be held on Australia Day, thousands of racing fans had turned up to watch the action at Hanging Rock Cup raceday
But just before the first event was due to take place, jockeys noticed a couple of kangaroos near to the track and officials were dispatched to shoo them off.
Despite initially leaving the track, about six kangaroos soon reappeared, jumped over a five-foot fence and began bounding around the track.
Race bosses say they eventually had to abandon the event… because it was either that or start betting on the roos.
