At last year's Port Cup, Anthony and Kodie Shipway set the bar high with their stylish ensemble earning them the best dressed couple at the track.
Kodie, an avid racegoer, said the secret to style success is to keep things simple but unique - you want to stand out from the crowd, but not for the wrong reasons.
Both Kodie and Anthony perfectly styled their outfits with soft pink hues complemented by a stunning fuschia headpiece.
"My dress is by Asilio, which is one of my favourite labels," Kodie said.
"Carol Watson from The Hat Room made my custom headpiece."
The Country Championships consists of a series of seven qualifying races, each held at a club representing one racing region in NSW.
Each race will be worth $150,000 in prize money, and will be contested by eligible horses that must be under the care of a country trainer in that region.
An eighth ‘Wild Card’ race, worth $50,000, will be held to provide one more opportunity for horses to qualify for the final that have already contested an earlier heat.
The first and second horse in each regional race will qualify for the $500,000 Newhaven Park Country Championships final to be held at Royal Randwick in Sydney on Day 1 of The Championships, Saturday 6 April 2019.
