THERE is just over a week to go to ‘Style Sunday Raceday’ at Downpatrick, the first of two such stylish events in August at the Co Down track.

It’s all about equality at Downpatrick as “everyone” can enter next Sunday’s two competitions. The first is the ‘Most Stylish Hat & Accessories Competition’ which has on offer as its first prize a trip for two to Rome with flights, a three-night stay in the four-star Grand Hotel Plaza and a Colosseum guided tour all included.

The winner of the ‘Ladies Upstyle Hair Competition’ can look forward to a trip for two to the Costa Blanca which includes flights and a three-night stay at the four-star Melia Alicante Hotel, just 200 metres from the beach. The gates are due to open around noon and hopefully the weather will be onside to show the style off at its best.

There’s racing too with the first due off at 2.05pm.
