Horseplay.

I’ve never been to the races, but I picture a bunch of older men wearing sweatpants, cargo shorts, maybe jeans and gambling (while sweating). Some of their women are with them, probably also wearing what I described. I guess I am wrong????? While men go to compete against each other in terms of who can pick the winning horse, women go to compete against each other in terms of who can wear the best (and by best, I mean most fucked up) hat. Something tells me that they’re not at the horseraces that take place on North and First Ave though; you know, the racetrack by Kiddieland? Big WTF’s pictured below..

Thanks to New York Magazine for pointing out this weird Subculture I never knew about.
