You're that opposed to paddock dress code?

We live in a world of appearance over substance.....luckily so many of us here have both.

I don't care how people dress at a racetrack. I feel sorry for those that do.

I think the opposite, the world is growing more and more casual. I do get your general sentiment and agree with what you mean but unfortunately people rarely look past the surface.

We are both too young to know, but I was just speaking with someone who recalls a time when people came to the track dressed like they were going to church.

Knowing Saratogabrit, I think you take his post in a harsher word than his intention. I don't think it's too much to ask that Saratoga enforces the tradition of paddock dress code but that is just me because I enjoy dressing nice, but can understand that others don't.

As for Saratogabrit, he is extremely down to earth and I think everyone else here who knows him would say the same.

I would rate it one notch below "making the bobblehead dolls look more like the person they are supposed to be" on the importance chart.

I'm sure they will do so when Discreet Cat's is released.

I have to agree....

wihile I would rather people dress nice, I don't really care if they show up in a wife beater and cut-off jeans as long as they don't behave like ass.holes.

sigh....

I know.
I just prefer good behavior over good dress....cause even some of the ones who dress up can't act like adults, you know?

You're also talking to Steve who is one of the sharpest dressers I've seen at the track.

[saratogabrit]

I only mentioned a dress-code for the paddock. Personally I wouldn't stop at the paddock and go for the Club House as well. What's the point in having a differential between the Granstand and the Club House when's there's no difference other than $2?

The whole picnic area is great. The Granstand is great too. But the Club House and especially the paddock should have stricter dress-codes than at present.

Australian racing has surged after a massive campaign to get young people to dress up to go to the track. It's always been that way in Britain-most grooms wear suits when they are leading their horses up at the races.

Perhaps the British dress well to obscure the fact they may well be the ugliest people on the earth. Too many centuries of being on an island with a limited gene pool.

I had a guy with a British accent shouting at me on the phone earlier today, it was quite an amusing event.

I find that post very offesnsive.

I must say, when i went to Santa Anita i was almost disgusted by the dresscode around the race track. shorts, jeans (some ripped jeans), t-shirts with nasty slogans on them.

Was i even at a racetrack? more like a rave with a couple of horses there for fun.

People dressing like that wouldn't even be let in tracks in this country. If you want to get into 'members' (which is like club for you guys) you HAVE to wear a collared shirt and trousers (no jeans), and at some of the bigger race days a suit is a must for members.

You wouldn't see me in anything less than a suit at Cheltenham for the festival, Newmarket for the guineas and July meeting etc etc.

It adds character to the whole event.

I apologize on my post that the British may well be the ugliest people on the earth. A survey of 59,000 men shows my bad error. My apologies to the women of Afghanistan.... Is it safe to assume I'm off your holiday card list?


Topic: Ugliest Women In The World

UK edition of "FHM" recently made a global survey. Straight guys will be interested.

The survey shows that Afghan Women are in the #1 spot for "the most ugliest women in the world". China ranked at #5.

US women wins the #1 "most beautiful women in the world". No Asian women scores top 10.

The survey asked at least 59000 men around the world through the web voting.

Here's the top 10 most ugliest women in the world:
1. Afghan
2. British
3. German
4. America
5. Chinese
6. Russian
7. Albanian
8. Turkish
9. French
10. India

And why should that matter.
And yes, I'm a Brit, but live in the States
