“Wearing headwear on a race day is a really important tradition. The races are a unique occasion and there are not many other places where you get to wear a hat. It doesn't mean that you have to wear a massive big hat if you don't feel comfortable, there are lots of different alternatives -- but we need to honor a tradition that dates back years and years ago to when they wore top hats and tails.”
