What better way to ring in the spring with your family and friends as you experience the thrill of the chase at this scenic and upbeat race.  There are not any rules and regulations on what you can and cannot wear to this type of race, but let’s be honest…it’s always more fun to play the part and get dressed up.

So, a fun hat is a MUST on my list along with a cute yet sensible pair of shoes.  For outfit ideas and options be sure to checkout what a few of our local  boutique’s pulled together below.

First up, make sure your date looks the part with something from Onward Reserve. For your outfit ~ you can either go sophisticated and elegant, or kick back in something flirty and fun like a floral romper or mini (with Flats of course). If you are tailgating at the rail or hanging in the infield you can opt for something more casual, but if you are heading to Members Hill and the sponsor section, you will definitely want to dress nicely.
