Horse Racing is the 'sport of kings' but in America it it usually treated like the 'sport of bums' with what many people wear to the track.

that 'king' concept didn't go over so well over here. in fact, we booted them out over 200 years ago.

At Arlington the Friday unofficial dress code at 'Party in the Park' has been a huge success and has raised attendance, especially young people. It was started by the Miller Light girls, there every friday and has ignited a contest of 'who has the shortest shorts?' Men are still dressing the same though we've had no example. Our leading owner wears shorts and t-shirts when taking the 55 winner's photos he's had so far. He did wear a tux when he got his Eclipse Award though.

Though I have NEVER seen Mr. D w/o a suit on and the joke was always that he wore a suit in the shower. People don't dress up for baseball games anymore either. Maybe has something to do with 90 degree plus temperatures. PS I'll be in shorts and a t-shirt today!!!!!

Saratoga is perfect just the way it is.

There is a difference in the dress code between the grandstand and the clubhouse. In the grandstand or lawn anything goes..you could go shirtless if you want. In the clubhouse, men must have sleeves on their shirts. No muscle shirts or anything like that. And of course in the box seats, jackets for men are required.

I guess people will find anything to complain about.
