Champagne was flowing and there were pints on the house in a Kerry pub last night to celebrate a stylish off-course victory at Listowel Races.

A fashionista who came prepared for all weathers scooped the best-dressed prize on the penultimate day of Listowel Races yesterday.

DEDICATED followers of fashion enjoyed more success in the style stakes than punters seeking to outsmart the bookies on Ladies’ Day at the Listowel Harvest Racing Festival in Co Kerry yesterday.

A LADY in red was first past the post in the fashion stakes at sun-splashed and crowded Listowel Races.

IT WAS the sort of day when timid souls might have reached for the wellies, but that was certainly not the case for the brave women who turned out in style for Ladies Day at Listowel races.
