Three white-tailed deer stole the show at a Pennsylvania horse race last week, beating the horses to the track and dashing around wildly under the lights (see video above).

 

"As they race down the track, Bambi has the lead!" veteran race caller Roger Huston exclaimed over the PA system, narrating the animals' frantic romp up and down Meadows Racetrack in Washington, Pa. "Here comes Rudolph from the outside!"

 

The trio seemed fast enough to challenge any thoroughbred, but as Huston noted, their performance was hindered by frequent directional changes. The show ended when they wandered off the track toward the infield, according to KDKA-TV.

 

This counts as good publicity for a sport that often makes news by spurring controversies and losing fans. But it's also relevant beyond horse racing, since the sight of deer bumbling into civilization has become all too familiar across North America. The Eastern U.S. is especially overpopulated with white-tailed deer, thanks to generations of ecological mismanagement that removed predators, promoted prey and fragmented forests with things like highways, houses and horse tracks.
