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.

so how do those of us who don't go to church figure out how to dress?!

i enjoy casual wear, but there are times that call for something more.
