Vancouver’s most stylish day of horse racing is just around the corner — and tickets are now on sale.

That’s right, horse (and fancy dress) lovers: The Deighton Cup is returning to the city for its 11 year — and it’s better than ever.

The fan favourite event — happening July 20 at Hastings Racecourse — is so much more than racing. This day at the races for a younger generation is a mashup of cocktails, music art and style.

Prepare to be surrounded by the “city’s finest for an afternoon of big hats, bow ties, bubbles, and adrenaline-pumping horse racing.”

Tickets go on sale today to the general public through its website.

The $55 early bird admission ticket includes eight horse races to enjoy and bet on, derby lunch offerings from Earls Restaurants, a chance to be named the Style Stakes “Best Dressed,” access to interactive leisure sports and cigar lounge, and live musical and DJ entertainment.

Here’s a look back at some of the fabulous and stylish moments from recent Deighton Cups.
