2016 Del Mar Horse Race
Del Mar Horse Race Season
Del Mar Horse Race Opening Day guide and Concert Schedules
There is a reason why San Diego is called “America’s Finest City”. True to the city’s nickname, the party never stops! This July comes the 2016 Del Mar Horse Race! This is considered to be the most fabulous, fashionable and fun festivities in the west. Del Mar race track “Where Turf meets the Surf” is the second largest horse-racing venue in the western United States and over 40,000 excited horse racing fans attends the event yearly. Del Mar Thoroughbred Club opened in 1937 and has put Del Mar on the map. The event itself is a massive attraction for both locals and visitors alike and made Del Mar the summer haven of the Hollywood crowd.
