Okay, while it's nice to think that we are back in the 1930's and everyone gets all gussied up to go to the track, this is the 21st century. If you need to feel as though you are dressing up to go to the Whitney Ball, the Turf Terrace is a wonderful place to be. Food isn't that good, but people wear nice clothes. I think the problem with the paddock isn't so much that people don't get dressed up enough, but the people that they let in who shouldn't be in there. Besides, trainers like Baffert and Frankel are wearing a jacket and jeans half of the time anyway. Unless something special is going on.
The clubhouse is nothing more than an extension of the grandstand these days, except it is closer to the finish line and they can charge you more. To not allow people to wear nice Bermuda shorts (a dress code somewhat similar to a golf course) is ludicrous. Remember, it is a VACATION spot.
