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!

While you've got that cell phone stuck to your ear, telling your friends, "Guess where I am? Yeah, we won! Yeah, I'm in the winners circle right now! Yeah, right now!", you're sure missing enjoying the moment, in my view. And it's surely quite rude to everyone else there.

She probably drives with her cell phone in her ear too. Those types of people are afraid to be alone.

Ahhh, I would tend to agree with you had she been sharing those words with the other end of her conversation. But she wasn't - she never mentioned the win circle or the photo or even the race. The conversation was about shopping, specifically, she could find an outfit she liked for a party this Saturday.....

Guess I'll have to fire up Photoshop and do some touch-up when I get the pic....

Heeeyyyyyyy! Everytime I am behind someone going 25 in a 50 its always a man buddy!!! Had a tad bit of road rage about 3 weeks ago. This freaking idiot was seriously going 25 in a 50, I finally get up beside him because of course there was an idiot in the other lane going just as slow but he was old so I didnt cuss him. Well I pull up beside him roll down my window and make the sign for him to do the same. I dont know if he thought I was gonna flirt with him or what but he has this big grin on his face and says "Hey whats up", I told him "Ya know what, if you would get off that F**king cell phone there wouldnt be a damn parade procession behind you idiot!!" The look on his face was priceless and I felt tons better.

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.

You are not an old grumpy fart. You should have taken the phone out of her hand and shoved it up her…
NYRA does try to keep a little dress code in the paddock I.E. no shorts etc. but some tracks allow anything.
