Horseracing & fashion lit up Ellis Thomas Downs
Food and music were in abundance and the environment, still filled with the Christmas festivities, was the perfect place for a fashion show in between races.
One Stop Mall showed off its colourful array of hats while Just Be You (JBY), located at the Tortola Pier Park (TPP), displayed its latest in hot outfits for men and women. Young designer Markita T. Turnbull-Smith also presented her work with African prints to the public.
Other entertainment was provided by Jocelyn Sears aka Sistah Joyce, the reigning Calypso Monarch of the Virgin Islands, VIBE, and DJ Push Pop.
Filling the void & entertaining
President of the Virgin Islands Horse Owners Association, Patsy C. Lake told Virgin Islands News Online that it was a way of attracting people and filling the void in between races.
“All these different things would attract more people to come. The models would come and their friends would come, and their friends, friends would come,” she said.
In addition, “So that people will say, after the horses run, now what? At least there is some kind of entertainment, in between races so that people wouldn’t say they are bored, they will have something to occupy their time until the next race comes off.”
