We live in a world of appearance over substance.....luckily so many of us here have both.

I don't care how people dress at a racetrack. I feel sorry for those that do.

I think the opposite, the world is growing more and more casual. I do get your general sentiment and agree with what you mean but unfortunately people rarely look past the surface.

We are both too young to know, but I was just speaking with someone who recalls a time when people came to the track dressed like they were going to church.

Knowing Saratogabrit, I think you take his post in a harsher word than his intention. I don't think it's too much to ask that Saratoga enforces the tradition of paddock dress code but that is just me because I enjoy dressing nice, but can understand that others don't.

As for Saratogabrit, he is extremely down to earth and I think everyone else here who knows him would say the same.

I would rate it one notch below "making the bobblehead dolls look more like the person they are supposed to be" on the importance chart.

I'm sure they will do so when Discreet Cat's is released.

so how do those of us who don't go to church figure out how to dress?!

i enjoy casual wear, but there are times that call for something more.

I have to agree....

wihile I would rather people dress nice, I don't really care if they show up in a wife beater and cut-off jeans as long as they don't behave like ass.holes.

I know.
I just prefer good behavior over good dress....cause even some of the ones who dress up can't act like adults, you know?
