Ascot from the best possible vantage point (without having the good fortune or the wealth to be in a private box) you need to be in the Premier Enclosure.
DAVID ASHFORTH with an impassioned plea to Ascot to change its new dress code. It is horribly patronising, condescending and alienating ... I don't know whether to laugh or cry - cry mainly."

BBC BREAKFAST this morning Sian Williams introduces us to Nick Clegg the Prime Minister, they talk through the possibility of a £10,000.00 tax exemption limit.
JMC Turfcall comment Shouldn't this be a £20,000.00 tax exemption limit at the very least? Pay back time for the greedy banks.

The other question Sian asks Nick is how long will it take government to make this change, or indeed any change at all .................? ..............
JMC Turfcall
How many years will it take government to do anything about this sinister predicament at all?
By the time government actually manage to get around to take any steps in this direction at all, how many people will have lost their home, their livelihood, and possibly there lives even by then ....... when ever then is supposed to be?
RP SPECIAL REPORT ON ITALIAN RACING IN CRISIS p6
NICHOLAS GODFREY reports on the desperate plight of Italian racing and asks leading figures what needs to happen to prevent the industry from disappearing altogether.
FRANKIE DETTORI "I feel for my family, for my friends, for the industry ...
JMC TURFCALL COMMENT
The Italian government, the Indian government, same as the British government are only
interested in the huge revenue they can take out of racing. The same bloodhorse illiteracy
within governments that blight British horseracing ongoing over the last 5 decades have
no idea of the creative skill and art that Frankie has gifted to horseracing around the
world within his lifetime span to date. All taken for granted by bloodhorse illiterate governments big time.
No matter how hard people may work, every single one needs a day off to refresh now and then. Clearly governments couldn't care less about people or animals having a day off. Although they make sure they have plenty of days off themselves.
The standard that horseracing countries have achieved today, have not happened overnight
by accident, they have been carefully built up over decades by highly skilled top bloodhorse literate achievers as FRANKIE DETTORI. Governments need to attend to their responsibilities toward the people who have voted them into office. At present this is not the case. Governments all around the world badly out of tune with the every day life, times and needs of the people who have voted them into office, the people that they are there to serve.
BRUCE MILLINGTON " Ascot may not be only course to count cost.
"If you want to watch jump racing at "That means you need to wear a jacket, shirt and tie. I don't think that is remotely necessary and I don't think it's the direction in which one of the world's most prestigious racecourses should be heading.
"It doesn't matter what I think. The public will decide whether it likes the new dress code. And if it doesn't Ascot will have to suffer the (probably minimal) financial consequences of falling attendances.
"What concerns me, though, is the shabby way the courses management treated some of its customers on Saturday will have done racing's wider image no good at all and it may well transpire that Ascot is not the only venue that has to end up counting the cost."
