It was Ladies Day at Ballybrit racecourse today…
Umbrellas were at a premium
Most hats weren’t designed for weather like this
Some seemed to dodge the downpour better than others
Then, some horse racing broke out!
Trainer Mick Winters successfully defended his title in the feature race, the Guinness Galway Hurdle, with Missunited under Robbie Power (left).
Heading off at 7/1, it was clearly a popular choice
However, most bookies were well covered
Roger Loughran guided Golden Wonder to the Perfect Pint Steeplechase
Pat Smullen found success on Yellow Rosebud
Smullen’s victory cam in the Guinness European Breeders Fund Corrib Fillies Stakes.
