THERE were almost 400 entries for the four ‘best dressed’ categories at Downpatrick on Bank Hotel Monday when racecourse manager Richard Lyttle’s usual arrangement with the weather gods didn’t work out quite as well as usual.

Derville Meade, wife of Co Meath trainer Noel Meade, helped with the judging as did Eimer Hannon from Hannon Travel who look after a lot of the jockeys’ travel arrangements and who kindly sponsored one of the competitions on the day.
