SOME of the Rose of Tralee contestants got a taste of racing yesterday evening at Ireland’s most scenic racecourse.
Killarney is enjoying four days of racing and the rain stayed away so the glamorous Roses and their escorts could enjoy the evening with thousands of other punters.
Today is Dawn Milk Ladies Day so expect the course to be packed with style competing for some amazing prizes. Scroll down for Don MacMonagle’s photos of the Roses at the races…
