But if the main focus of the event between July 13 and 16 is what happens on the track, ladies will have their say off it.
This year promises to be action packed with a host of celebrities involved in the Dawn Milk Ladies Day on July 16.
Glenda Gilson, presenter and reporter with TV3’s Xposé, and this year’s reigning Rose of Tralee, Maria Walsh, have been announced as judges.
The Killarney Ladies Day is renowned as one of the most prestigious events on the fashion calendar in Ireland.
The Queen of Fashion winner will receive a trip for two to Paris and a specially commissioned vase.
The winner of the most stylish hat will receive a trip for two to Milan and a specially commissioned vase. A runner-up prize will also be presented in both categories.
A total of 20 finalists will be selected by the judges.
