I had a guy with a British accent shouting at me on the phone earlier today, it was quite an amusing event.

Scav is now officially my adopted Brit brother. My mother will be pleased

[viscount26]

Actually, I'm old enough to be Scav's father ouch

this ain't Britain.

I'm not interested in Britain. It's far too stuffy at the races there. I haven't been racing there for nearly 2 years.

But i am interested in how the Australians have encouraged young people to dress up to go the track because Australia is an even more laid back country than the US and the sport there has surged to a masive dregree-25% of the adult population goes at least once a year to the track.

Although they are outsiders (but not as long a shot as they were)-if Capital Play gets the NYRA franchise there will major rule changes for dress codes.

I can just see some of the US southern tracks, trying to enforce a paddock dress code. you'd have a bunch of guys dressed up looking like Jethro Bodine in his Sunday best suit, three sizes too small, clip on bowtie.

I find it hard to believe that the sport is surging based on a new paddock dress code.

"Being Seen" appeals to the younger generation...why do you think Martini bars and lounges have taken off so well in most major cities?

Australian racing is surging because young people are being encouraged to dress-up to go to the track. It's the only country in the Western world where the sport has grown in popularity over the last 10-15 years. Going racing is now the trendy thing for young people to go.

I'll have you know that in Chicago, even without a dress code, there is no place more trendy than Hawthorne.

Yeah, this guy might actually be track executive material....

Enforcing a dress code in the paddock will surely solve all of racings endless problems.

He's even topped my brilliant idea of strip-clubs at the track.

They had strippers at Balmoral Park a month or so ago. It's been done.

are trendy types that want to be seen going to head over to Ozone Park in the afternoon?

which tracks in the US do you envision people flocking to at night as an alternative to a Martini bar or a lounge? Mountaineer? Lone Star? LosAl? Balmoral?
