Everything coming up Roses at the races
ROSES were blossoming trackside at Killarney Races on Wednesday as the contestants in this year’s Rose of Tralee International Festival enjoyed a punt. The Roses met their fans and were also on hand to present the prize to the winning connections of the aptly named Rose of Tralee International Festival Ladies Flat Race. Record crowds attended the four-day festival, which concluded yesterday, Thursday. Killarney Racecourse sales and marketing manager Bríd Lucey said: “The lead-up to the July Festival is something that we look forward to each year. We were delighted to welcome large crowds for some great racing.”
