Six men have been charged over a wild brawl at the Rosehill Gardens racecourse on Saturday in which several people clashed near the carpark after the final race.
One woman was captured by a photographer using a bunch of roses to whack one of the men as he fought with another near a minibus.
Up to 30 people were believed to be involved in the chaos, during which shirts and trousers were torn.
One man, who appeared to be on the receiving end of the flower flogging, was pictured during the fight with a trouser leg torn open, exposing his large tattoos.
Security called police but, by the time they arrived, many of the unruly crew had boarded a minibus and left the venue.
The officers later stopped the bus and issued six field court attendance notices to six men charged with affray.
They were not arrested and no serious injuries were reported, but they will likely face court in the coming weeks.
The Australian Turf Club, which administers Rosehill races, has been contacted for comment.
