2008 Brisbane Royal Show

The fashions for the Led classes this year certainly saw some smart outfits.

Another of the co-ordinated handlers in the Led classes.

And the gents certainly stepped out in style and gave the ladies a run for their money.

And with the sun shining the handlers looked very smart with their 'race-day' hats.

An un-missable ring master Ms Jo McMillan looking very stylish!

The boys even went to the effort of a flower in the lapel to get that winning edge on presentation.
