No problem with that...she would have NOT even been allowed in the paddock with a cell phone out in any NYRA track! The trainer or managing partner is usually responsible for winners circle decorum! I'm still old school, getting dressed up on race day if I've got a horse racing. It just shows a little respect for the sport IMO. I make my son's dress up on race day also!
It kills me to see how laid back they are in California tracks with trainers in the paddock and winners circle in old jeans and shirts flopping out of their pants. Julio Canalli is one who comes to mind vs The Sarge who looked nice as always in a shirt, tie and blazer with dress jeans or slacks yesterday!
