Official Rose of Tralee Thread

I didn’t see the Clare rose but the mother was very impressed by her.

Personally I thought Texas, Wexford & Kerry were the best of tonight. Mayo or Offaly from last night.

In Horse Racing terms its the equivalent of the 2014 2000 Guineas at Newmarket which produced nine subsequent Group 1 winners.

Hall of famers like Kingman and Australia in behind the winner.

I’ve only seen at most half them I’d say and didn’t see Mayo. I was quite taken with the Donegal lassie who was the London Rose.

The popularity of the lads baffles me

It would have to be the 1000 Guineas surely?

Hup!

Tiara hasn’t gone abroad for a while. If it does, I’d say New York or Boston.

Meath lady who couldn’t ride a bike was a good laugh. Very natural.

The Rose of Tralee wouldn’t be the same without this fella rabbiting on every year for ten minutes when we’re all waiting to hear the winner and go to bed.

For a much maligned competition, there’s serious razzmatazz surrounding it.

I’m delighted for her parents but that was a joke - there were two or three easily more deserving.
