Speaking afterwards to the Leader, Joanne said that she was 'delighted' to have been able to take part in the event.
"I used to always come to the races, and I always loved seeing the fashion (at Punchestown)... it's a lovely excuse to get dressed up for the day!
"The winner's outfit was absolutely stunning," she added.

Aine also revealed that, like Joanne, she has been an avid Punchestown goer for a number of years, with her last time being in 2019.
"I just love the fashion and being able to meet up with friends, I am delighted to be here."
She added that she believed that Jess made the right call picking Oniesa as the winner: "It was 100 per cent (the right decision), her style was superb and she was gorgeous."
