"... And awa-a-a-y they go"... thundering hooves, equine nostrils aspirating loudly, while the constant din of salivating excitement for a hopeful long shot ricochets through the grandstands. Seaside racing in Southern California celebrates the 72nd season of sporting ponies, bets and the Del Mar scene begins July 20.
Since 1937, when Crosby greeted the first attendees at the gate, Del Mar's racetrack has lured many a celebrity, dignitaries, horsemen and families to its seaside locale to try their 'hand' at handicapping thoroughbreds.
Del Mar plays host to six designated Breeder's Cup Challenge races in its summer stakes schedule, earning the winners a berth in the designated BC races including entry fees and travel allowances for the horse and its connections.
While enjoying the races in Del Mar make sure to also take in its village charm and lure. Del Mar takes advantage of a much lauded locale along the coast, and a climate enjoyed throughout the seasons. Beyond the many accolades and reviews, Del Mar Racetrack, the attraction, whatever it may offer...Del Mar is simply irresistible.
