Racing and fashion to collide at Roscommon Ladies Day

Next Monday, July 10, horse racing and fashion collide when Roscommon Races stages its SuperValu Ladies Day.

Lifestyle, fashion and beauty influencer, Pam Richardson-Hoare has been confirmed as judge and six SuperValu stores have come together to sponsor Ladies Day, which has become one of Roscommon’s most popular race meetings.

The winner of the best dressed competition will walk away with a top prize of €1,200, while the nine runners-up will each receive €100.

The following SuperValu shops are sponsoring the event: Smith’s SuperValu in Monksland; Fleming SuperValu in Roscommon; Glancy SuperValu in Carrick-on-Shannon; Keane SuperValu in Lanesboro; McGuinness SuperValu in Strokestown; and Cahill SuperValu, Castlerea.

A Limerick native, now based in Galway, Pam Richardson-Hoare said: “I love the social aspect of going racing, dressing up and having a great day out with my friends so I’m really thrilled and honoured to be judging the SuperValu Ladies Day at Roscommon Races on Monday, July 10.

“I’m looking forward to meeting everyone and seeing all the summer style.”

There will be some high class racing too. It’s an all-jumps card, including an always well contested novice hurdle, and for the day that’s in it, the card ends with a ladies’ bumper.

Michael Finneran, Roscommon Racecourse Manager, commented: “Sincere thanks to the six local SuperValu shops for their long-standing and generous sponsorship of our Ladies Day. It’s one of our most popular race days every summer.

“We are looking forward to welcoming Pam to Roscommon and everyone else next Monday and we wish her all the best picking the finalists and overall winner.”

The first race goes to post at 5pm and there will be music in the main bar after the second last race.
