It was Ladies Day at Friday evening’s Wexford races and there were plenty of fashion doing the rounds although the weather was misbehaving at times, but it was a pretty occasion of glamour, colour, social intercourse and good fun.

The judge was celebrity fashion expert Marietta Doran, who admitted that “there was plenty of talent to choose from and picking a winner was not an easy decision, but there has to be a winner!”

The popular winner was Ferns hairdresser Louisa Murphy, who lives in Tramore, and was given a rousing round of congratulatory applause when she received her prize in the parade ring after the sixth race.

The other four finalists were Catherine Byrne, St. Mullins, Mary Hamilton from Gorey, Veronica Murphy from Ballyhack and Alice J. Kelly from Blackwater.

The Ladies Day event was sponsored by Slaney View Motors and Ferrycarrig Hotel in association with New Mood Boutique.
