TODAY IS THE first day of the annual Christmas Festival at Leopardstown.
Even by the usual St Stephen’s Day standards, the weather is particularly grim.
You’d definitely need an umbrella
Or a warm jacket with a good hood
One between two will do if that’s all you’ve got
Or, failing that, a copy of this morning’s Racing Post
Despite the weather, there was still plenty of festive fashion on show
Spare a thought for the poor jockeys though
