A huge crowd turned out at Gowran Park today for the flagship Kilkenny fixture of the racing year, the Goffs Thyestes Handicap Chase.
Strong gusts of wind were a feature throughout the day, but there was none of the rain or fog that has occasioned previous brisk January afternoons.
The Henry de Bromhead-trained Champagne West won the main event, followed by Ucello Conti in second, Bonny Kate in third, and Pleasant Company in fourth place.
Live music and entertainment are continuing this evening.
