THE RACE IS ON

The launch of Naas Racecourse’s Ascot Trials at Kildare Village

Guests gathered in the VIP Lounge at Kildare Village for an afternoon of fashion and sport, as radio and TV broadcaster Lottie Ryan was announced as the fashion judge for Naas Racecourse’s Royal Ascot Trials Day, held on May 19. Guests were treated to afternoon tea and a panel discussion where Ryan interviewed four women in sport – Kildare GAA football star Róisín Byrne, boxer Katelynn Phelan, racing industry personality Orla Murtagh, and trainer Jessica Harrington. The theme of this year’s Best Dressed Lady competition is “breaking the mould”, with a prize of an overnight stay with dinner in the Manor House at Palmerstown House Estate for the winner and 19 of her friends, plus a €1,000 shopping spree in Kildare Village.
