Please note: as from the Summer Cup and for all meetings at Turffontein Racecourse going forward the following dress code rules for the Parade Ring will apply and must be strictly adhered to:

Parade Ring Dress Code (Men):

Top:
Collared Shirt or Golf Shirt (No Jacket Required)
T-shirt (Jacket Required)

Bottom:

Closed shoes or smart sneakers

NOT ALLOWED: Shorts, sandals, flip flops or boardshorts

Parade Ring Dress Code (Women):

Dresses or ensembles (top & skirt) are recommended

Shoes:
Heels, Wedges, Smart Sandals & Smart Sneakers

NOT ALLOWED: Boardshorts, flip flops

Children under 16

Must be accompanied by an accredited adult
Must adhere to the dress code

Non-adherence to the Parade Ring dress code will lead to connections not being granted access. We appreciate your co-operation in this respect as we look to enhance the Turffontein racing experience for the benefit of all punters and connections.

Ends.

Sure this is keeping in line with most international standards.

What a load of bollocks. If an owner has paid his entry and acceptance fees who gives 4R the right to ban him if he wants to wear shorts?

Emperors new clothes ala Larry move. There are more important things to worry about

After listening to Greg Bortz from Cape Racing it appears they are also following a more traditional code or minimum dress requirement for parade ring and certain lounges .

I hope the grooms’ attire also meets a satisfactory standard.

4Q BS on steroids.

Essentially a person that claims to be non-binary will not be prosecuted by the 4Q fashion police.

These 4Q fools should do something about the overpowering Turffontein stink and substandard air quality that rivals a fork’n sewage treatment plant.

4Q, lead by example and stops employing clowns in that circus of yours who actually dress the part on big days.

Do you think they rushed this through to stop the same scenes from happening again if Main Defender won?

Apparently, the NHA punished the Main Defender entourage to the sin bin for the remaining 10 races / 10 weeks / 10 months!!!

PS. Not to be confused with Ricky Sinn's sin bin where u could get a bet for any ol amount for a slightly different kind of punishment.
