There is always an amazing atmosphere during summer racing at Wexford and none better to get into the party mood than when the fillies and fashion mix and serve up the magic of Ladies Evening.

Friday evening’s Bettyville Park fixture is highlighted by the ‘Most Appropriately Dressed Lady Competition’, kindly sponsored by Monart Spa destination, Enniscorthy, and all is needed is to dress up well and show it off and you could be a winner! The judge on the evening will be the celebrated Marietta Doran.

Meanwhile, the dry weather conditions means that the course is being watered daily to ensure ‘safe ground conditions and care for the welfare of the competitors’ and a fine entry of 123 has been received for the seven-race card that commences at 5.50 pm.

Dan Walsh spoke to the Chairman of Wexford Racecourse, Michael Murphy, at the races a few weeks ago.
