Going to horse race; what to wear?

[kingwilliam]

Whats up guys?

I am going to a horce race in Tennessee called the Iroquois Steeplechase.

It is a very classy social event with an atmosphere kind of like the Kentucky Dirby. I am trying to figure out what would be good to wear at an event like this. I hear it's a dress to impress event. The weather is going to be warm, probably 75 degrees, so I don't wanna wear a jacket.

I'm thinking a nice set of non pleated slacks and a button up with cuff links, no tie.

Try to google a few pics. It depends what kind of event it is too.

Sometimes races courses would have ladies day etc were everybody dresses up fancy.

Worsted wool short sleeve collared shirt, with tank top. Black slacks black shoes.

There's a chance of afternoon thunderstorms so a black or white long umbrella might be in the cards as well.

that is the KD of steeplechasing. You will see some nice ass.

Just dress nice casual. slacks or kakhis and if it's cool a polo or hillfiger shirt tucked in. maybe a sportsjacket if it's not so cool

you dont' want to be TOO fancy becuase you will be having to move around. you have to have funcional attire on at the horse track

Damn. Judging from the title, I thought you meant the Preakness which is where I'll be this weekend.

I would say if you want to wear cologne with the weather being warmer, go with a lighter scent. I went to a horse race in WV years ago, but it was more like dress to keep your @$$ warm (winter).

of all 3 triple crown races I dislike the preakness the most.

first of all going there, Pimlico might as well be in south central LA. it's bad. very bad. it's run down and that's not a place I want to be caught at night.

the race itself is like the girls gone wild version of the triple crown. nothing like hte kentucky derby. more partying.. hardcore partying. I can hardcore party at a club, i come to the races to see a good race.

the race is usually watered down. there are better races on your avg Saturday grade 2 stakes races at Santa Anita and definately Saratoga. I do like the manhatten handicap, the race before the preakness however. one of the better turf races in the country.

Nothing beats Keeneland. Saratoga comes close but even when it's snowing outside keeneland is a notch above the rest of america when it comes to day in day out bigtime racing.
