I love Goodwood but the whole pantomime thing is daft. If people want to dress up that's fine- and plenty do - but to make it compulsory at the Revival is absurd. I used to go to the Royal Opera House quite regularly and whilst I dressed smartly I didn't have to - no dress code .
And as somebody who attended race meetings in the late 60s I can report no sightings of faux Marilyn Monroes , Mods or RAF Squadron Leaders - a donkey jacket or Barbour was the norm , with a Park Drive drawing well - and that was just for the girls...
