Glamour gallops ahead as bookies take a bashing

THE bookies took a bashing at a rainy Galway yesterday as the women turned on the style for Ladies’ Day.

Hats and high heels were the order of the day as every possible brand of umbrella was raised skywards to fend off the rain from meticulously prepared hair and makeup.

Shyness was not an issue for any of the women and most eagerly pestered photographers for a snap in the hope of making it into the papers. For the males of the species, it has to be said, this was not the worst job in the world.
