Second Punchestown KO

Ruby Walsh and his father Ted stole the show again this week

Ruby Walsh and his father Ted stole the show again this week. Commanche Court won the Heineken Gold Cup at Punchestown, following his win at Fairyhouse, and the hearts of everyone at the races. It was Ladies' Day on Wednesday and Fumi Gawi Byrne was deemed by many to be the most stunning in a pink feather hat. Theirry de Longevaille and Xavier de Royere of the Louis Vuitton fashion house flew from Paris for the day to join the celebrations. Amber Dikel was delighted, and promised to throw a number of parties after her horse, Amberleigh, won in the third race. Designer Louise Kennedy and her sister, Caroline Kennedy, just back from a three-week trip to India, joined their friends for a lunch of wild salmon, sugar snaps and potatoes. Perfect fare for a day at the races.
