Killarney gets a May day to savour for the races

FOR a welcome change, it didn’t rain at the Killarney May Races, yesterday, and a large crowd savoured the warm sunshine.

The ladies had a chance to show off their summer style, while many men were in shirt sleeves for their battle with the bookies.

“We’re glad to get fine weather, as we had been unlucky with the elements during this meeting in recent years,” said a race company spokesman.
