By Dan Walsh at Wexford Racecourse
Last Saturday’s race meeting at Bettyville Park, Wexford, was Ladies Day and attracted a large attendance in pleasant weather conditions, where Helena Codd, 41 years old mother of two, was crowned winner of the Best Dressed Competition.
The competition was sponsored by New Mood Boutique, Cornmarket, Wexford and Wexford Racecourse and the celebrity judge was Marietta Doran. Helena Codd was the clear winner, and the other finalists were Alison Walsh, Ann-Marie Blake, Catherine Byrne and Veronica Walsh.
Interviewed in the parade ring, Helena told Marietta Doran; “I am wearing a blue ensemble, 8 Sign dress, shoes from Dune and a headpiece that I picked up yesterday morning only. So very last minute.com from Theresa in Hats Life.’
Helena, who works in financial services is married to her husband Martin, with whom she shares two children – Annabelle, (8), and Cian, (9). It’s her first time winning a best dressed competition and her first time back to the races with her husband in about 12 years.
Helena confessed that she loves makeup and fashion but said she has gone through a style evolution over the years, choosing more ‘classic’ and ‘elegant’ pieces as she turns 30.
