Going Home After Our 2007 Del Mar Racetrack Adventure

A Day At The Races... GiddyUp Horsey

Days End And All Is Well With The World (Page Three)

Did You Know? Pat Obrien & Bing Crosby In the 1990s the track underwent a major renovation. The grandstand of the Del Mar Fairgrounds was demolished and replaced.

In 1991 the track ran its richest race to date, the $1,000,000 Grade One Pacific Classic. The race was won by an impressive three-year-old named Best Pal.

Into the new century the track continued to post records in handle and attendance and offered some of the greatest thoroughbred racing in America.

Opening day is a huge event at the track. Each year, the track opens their summer racing season in mid July to crowds upwards of 40,000 people. Del Mar Racetrack is the place to be and be seen on opening day.

Locals and tourists pack the track half wearing beach attire and the other half dressed to the nines.

Many women will be wearing stylish outfits and hats and the men will be dressed in sportjackets and suits.

The first race of the meet on opening day runs at 2PM. Track announcer Trevor Denman will start each racing season with his trademark call, "and there's the Roar from the Del Mar crowd as the 2006 racing season is under way" .

Darn... We have to head for homeafter a terrific day at the races. Join us for the going-home fun.
