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!
I was just saying the same thing yesterday and completely agree. It doesn't have to be Royal Ascot everytime but have some respect and pride for yourself, your horse and your trainer.
