WAGs play cool at Ryder Cup race day

NEVER mind the horses — it was all about the glad rags and glad WAGS.

Ryder Cup Day at the Curragh Racecourse attracted more hats, heels, feathers and frills than a wedding planners convention. The Goffs Million may have been the big race of the day but the most intense competition was for the title of Brown Thomas Best Dressed Lady.

No matter that the prize money was a tad less at a mere €20,000, this was the one to win and the ladies left nothing to chance. It was just as well because if the crowds were relying on the much anticipated WAGs (wife and girlfriends) for glamour, they were to be disappointed.
