AFTER an unscheduled year off from the Cup, the people of Ipswich are absolutely champing at the bit for this year’s event, especially if early ticket sales are any indication.

There are still three months to go until the Ipswich Winter Racing Carnival kicks off, and cup organisers are hoping for a crowd of about 20,000, albeit with some COVID measures in place.
