The Killarney Races kicked off this weekend with Mad Hatters Day, and videographer Eddie O'Hare was there to soak up the atmosphere.

The sun was a non-runner on a dank summer’s day in Ballybrit, but a colourful Mad Hatters competition lit up the final instalment of Galway Race Week.

Fun and Colour is the theme for this spectacular day. The Mad Hatters competition is hugely popular, the effort and creativity of the entrants is a fabulous spectacle.

GALWAY Race Committee yesterday announced a host of new sponsors, at the launch of the Summer Festival Meeting 2010.
