Have you ever been to a track? The dregs of society are ground level. Grand stand has a little better class of people. They wear jeans. If you tuck your shirt in and wear socks you’ll be considered snooty. Dress with regard for your host. NVM anyone else at the track.

You’ll see anything from camo overalls to Armani suits. I go about every other weekend during race time. Just regular dress will put you in with the rest of the crowd.

Go to the infield

Hey now! I dress fancy and hang out by the paddock all day.

How am I supposed to bet if I don’t see them up close?

Dad used to tell me clubhouse seats at Keeneland were wasted on me

Dress like you’re going to hang out with drunk gamblers while you drink and gamble. If the weather is cool, break out your 8-ball jacket.

Man, it's in Hot Springs Arkansas

I've been many, many times for both non-derby days and the Arkansas Derby itself, and there is no dress code unless you mingle with the rich people in the private areas. The "regular crowd" tends to dress in whatever.

Don't worry about it and wear something you'd wear to church, no matter how fancy you tend to dress on Sunday.

Wear a dress. You don't have any balls if you asking the OT what to wear.

The infield will be open on Saturday’s if the weather is nice.
Like others have said, wear whatever you feel like, no one is going to judge you.
I’m there almost every weekend during live racing and always just hang out on the first floor with the rest of the heathens.

Tank top or Trump t shirt. Always have a lit cigarette in your mouth.

Last time I went the casino took a good bit of money from me and I spent half the night cruising lake Hamilton in my ski boat drinking and contemplating my poor decisions

Only place I know in there that has a dress code is the top level. If you are going there you need slacks and a blazer.
