Campaign for Better Dress-Codes at Saratoga

[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

Wow, you must not get laid much.

[viscount26]

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

[miraja2]

Wow Saratoga IS fancy if some are worried about what people are wearing.
At Arlington I am just happy if people are wearing anything at all.

That's a low blow. Sounds like Morty in disguise. I'd better look in the mirror to make sure I'm not too ugly

I can tell this thread is going in the right direction

I can just see some of the US southern tracks, trying to enforce a paddock dress code. you'd have a bunch of guys dressed up looking like Jethro Bodine in his Sunday best suit, three sizes too small, clip on bowtie.

I'm not interested in Britain. It's far too stuffy at the races there. I haven't been racing there for nearly 2 years.

But i am interested in how the Australians have encouraged young people to dress up to go the track because Australia is an even more laid back country than the US and the sport there has surged to a masive dregree-25% of the adult population goes at least once a year to the track.

Although they are outsiders (but not as long a shot as they were)-if Capital Play gets the NYRA franchise there will major rule changes for dress codes.

I find it hard to believe that the sport is surging based on a new paddock dress code.

"Being Seen" appeals to the younger generation...why do you think Martini bars and lounges have taken off so well in most major cities?
