Racing for Rosabel Best dressed 2022

Racing for Rosabel has an amazing €5000 in best dressed prizes!

Galway Races is back and we cannot wait to kick off the week with Racing for Rosabel in aid of Rosabel’s Rooms in the Connacht Hotel on Monday 25th July. In its fifth year Racing for Rosabel will not disappoint, the afternoon will be filled with scrumptious lunch, mouth-watering cocktails, tips from some of Ireland’s well-known jockeys, a special performance from Lucia Evans and of course it would not be race week without a most stylist competition with a whopping prize fund of €5000.

Caroline Downey, organiser of the event from Carried Away PR & Events said; “I am thrilled that Racing for Rosabel is happening again, in the fabulous surroundings of the Connacht Hotel. The best dressed will be both online and also for those attending the event. There will be a best dressed lady, best dressed gent and best headpiece prizes at the event as well a separate best dressed lady and best headpiece online. Anyone that cannot make the event can still enter.”

Suzanne Mc Clean; founder of Rosabel’s Rooms and Rosabel’s mum added; “We are so happy to be back with this event, and of course an event like this cannot go ahead without the amazing support of our sponsors and contributors. We are delighted to have Eyre Square Shopping centre back as main sponsor with Leufer’s Jewellers, Gillian Duggan, Michelle Kearns, Harper Boutique, Lir Boutique, Defy Clothing, Barry’s Hair & Beauty Studio, Monroe’s Live and the Connacht Hotel adding to the amazing prize fund. It is a pleasure to have Lucia Evans perform the title track from our recently released ‘Songs for Rosabel’. Of course, it would not be the Galway Races without tips from Leon Blanche, Boyle Sports, and his panel of racing experts. It is going to be the place to be to kick off race week.”

Best dressed lady herself Fiona Morgan Coleman along with one of Galway’s most popular milliner Gillian Duggan are back judging all the style. This year we are thrilled to have Galway girl Grainne Seogie join the judging panel bringing her own beautiful style.
