I can't imagine an owner in the gallops lining up for an interview or trophy presentation wearing something like that there again there has always been a class distinction between a thoroughbred and a harness racing trainer and no wonder.:confused:

Point of difference is we're the sport for everyone not the sport of kings. Never going to compete if trying to compete based on how upmarket we are. This fellow is paying bills and bringing money into the industry, someone in Toorak might be more classy but they're not going to Melton. The sport needs characters, and the thing with characters is they dont always do things the politically correct way.

It turns out that Anthony bought himself this Gp1 with partner Sonya purhasing the horse before the Semis
It is rumoured that the horse is going to the US

You can say we are the people's code and the clubs are run by people, by members, who make the rules. Dress codes are everywhere nowadays (including the trots) so even a rich bill payer can rarely escape them - quite often when just going out. So if the club want him to cover that up as it is going out on media, he should not be surprised. It is a matter of standards which people/members will have the final say on

Are you going to let him accept the trophy with absolutely any T-shirt Brendan?

You can never accuse the trots of being classy :rolleyes:

ps I do know it is a brand - a brand with no class

For somebody to where that shirt with high confidence they would be photographed accepting the winner's trophy is detrimental to the image of the sport. That HRV occasionally has to remind participants about their standard of dress at our premier track demonstrates the lack of class and respect by some. Next time, perhaps, the owner might choose something more classy to reflect their status in the sport. May I suggest a silk shirt. Wire a pig's head mask.

Vicbred Finals WILL NOT be on New Years Eve in 2023 but rather in September
