The Deighton Cup is probably the most fashionable and social event of the summer.
Vancouverites don’t normally get the opportunity to wear a fancy hat. The usual fare is baseball and straw oriented versions, but this past weekend proved different.
Horse racing has long been synonymous with the elaborate hat designs that trot near the track.
It’s a millinery tradition honed over the decades into a famous and frequently outrageous art form, illustrated most decoratively from the well-heeled meets of the Kentucky Derby to England’s Royal Ascot. A chance to display the

bizarre and the beautiful.
Some of the fashionable. I think I know the cool dude on the left. It’s Beau, my sister’s beaufriend.
From the Deighton Cup at Hastings Racecourse to West Vancouver’s Royal Tea-by-the-Sea, there were plenty of opportunities to wear your hat for the scene and be-seen crowd. I can’t believe I didn’t go because I love hats and horses so much however my sister went.
The “Deighton Cup” is a three day Horse Racing Event to liven up the season at a track that already draws plenty of attention.
