Cup flasher covers her ... tracks

She bared all before thousands on Tuesday, but the woman who captured worldwide attention for running on to a racing track and lifting her dress has gone to ground.

A Christchurch interior designer, Hayley Scheerhoorn, will appear in the Christchurch District Court tomorrow charged with disorderly behaviour after the incident just before the New Zealand Trotting Cup at Addington Raceway on Tuesday.

It's alleged the 32-year-old jumped a fence, ran across the track and staggered before lifting her tight-fitting black dress as Australian driver Lance Justice and his star pacer Smoken Up passed.

Scheerhoorn was removed from the track, but racegoers were also given a view of her breasts as she was led away.

Picton-raised Scheerhoorn - who lived in Hamilton and Auckland before opening her interior design business Niche Designs in Christchurch this year - did not respond to repeated calls from the Herald on Sunday.

Her Facebook page was taken down this week.

Scheerhoorn's antics excited some web users, with a writer at male-oriented website Guyism declaring "God bless those Kiwis" above a photo of Scheerhoorn. Her photo was chosen as photo of the day on the Canadian website National Post.

Addington Raceway chief executive Shane Gloury was less impressed.

"The horse could've been injured, the woman could've been injured, the driver could've been injured. It was a complete act of stupidity."

The public was also potentially at risk if Smoken Up had taken fright and run into the spectators' area, Gloury said.

Police are also investigating whether an accredited photographer had encouraged Scheerhoorn to enter the track, as witnesses alleged, Gloury said.

However, Justice said he wasn't upset by Scheerhoorn and she played no part in Smoken Up's second place finish.

"I thought at first she just wanted to wish us well. I've had calls from all over the world ... people saying 'I saw your girlfriend on TV'."
