Del Mar Race Season

by Kipp Downing

The most exciting time of the year in Del Mar is upon us. This will be Pacifica Del Mar's 19th race season! Little did we anticipate almost two decades ago the impact that 7 weeks of horse racing would have on our business, or the City of Del Mar.

Summer is always an exciting time for all who visit quaint Del Mar by the Pacific. Thousands make their way daily (except Tuesday of course) to follow the "ponies," bet a few dollars, and people watch.

After the track, it is off to one of the surrounding dining establishments, including Pacifica Del Mar, for the celebration of a big winner, commiseration over just missing with a long shot, or being nosed out for a a large Trifecta payoff!

The good news is no matter what the outcome, there is always racing tomorrow and the chance to get even by following up on the tip you heard, while enjoying a martini at Pacifica Del Mar! The only way to get the full impact of horse racing in Del Mar is to try it.

We look forward to seeing you on opening day, Wednesday, July 18th and all the way through the summer to Labor Day weekend. Enjoy Pacifica Del Mar and many days of racing at the Del Mar Race Track.
