SPECTACULAR harness racing and glamorous fashion make a welcome return to Bankstown Paceway on Friday for the Carnival of Cups race night.

Drivers will battle it out to win a number of hotly-contested races including the Group 3 Sydney Cup.

The Carnival of Cups is the premier event on Bankstown Paceway’s autumn racing calendar and will kick off Friday night racing for the 2017-18 season.

Racegoers can choose to dine in style at the trackside Champions Restaurant, where they can enjoy reserved-table seating and a three-course buffet dinner.
