Warrenpoint Woman is Runner Up at Down Royal’s Summer Festival of Racing

Fashion and racing came together in spectacular style at Down Royal Racecourse on Saturday 21st June, as Ladies Day at the BoyleSports Summer Festival of Racing delivered a dazzling display of colour, couture and competition. At the heart of the excitement was the return of the Younique Aesthetics Clinic Best Dressed Lady competition – joined for the first time by the newly introduced Best Dressed Man, sponsored by Freddie Hatchet, and Best Dressed Couple, proudly supported by Lough Erne Resort.

Locally, Charlotte Hughes from Warrenpoint was selected as Down Royal's runner up best dressed lady at the Boylesports Summer Festival of Racing

Faith Amond from County Carlow claiming the Best Dressed Lady title while Robert McGrath won the Best Dressed Man category. Alastair and Lady Bridget Hamill from Kildare won the Best Dressed Couple category.

Áine Larkin, Clinical Director at Younique Aesthetics Clinic added: “The standard of fashion today has been exceptional – a true celebration of personal style, glamour and elegance. It was a tough decision for our judges, but we’re thrilled to crown Faith as this year’s winner and look forward to welcoming her to Younique Aesthetics Clinic.”

Chloe Ferris, Commercial Director at Down Royal Racecourse, said: “This year’s expanded Ladies Day competition has been a phenomenal success. The addition of the Best Dressed Man and Couple categories, along with vibrant new activations like the bottlegreen Summer Garden, brought a fresh energy to the day. We’re hugely grateful to our style sponsors – Younique Aesthetics, Freddie Hatchet, Lough Erne Resort and bottlegreen – for helping us elevate the experience, and to all of our individual race sponsors for their valued support. A special thanks also goes to BoyleSports for their continued partnership as overall sponsor of our Summer Festival. And of course, congratulations to our fabulous winners and finalists – the style on show was second to none.”
