Del Mar Race Track

The Del Mar race track is aptly known as the place where "the turf meets the surf," because of its spectacular seaside location in Southern California . It got its start in a dramatic Hollywood style when Bing Crosby, eager to indulge his fondness for horse racing, founded it in 1937. In the very next year, the budding race track played host to the celebrated match between Seabiscuit and Ligaroti.

The Del Mar race track established itself as the premier race track in the west over the next few decades. Several factors contributed to this, including the construction of a rail line from Los Angeles . Of course, the huge purses and first-rate names that were regulars at the Del Mar race track also played their roles in contributing to its popularity.

In more recent times, the most significant change at the Del Mar race track has been a multi-million dollar renovation of the main grandstand and attached buildings. The renovations took place over several years and bought a whole new look to the entire Del Mar race track. The expanded and modernized facilities make a day at the Del Mar race track even more convenient and exciting.
