Del Mar Racetrack
Located in the Southern California sweet spot that is the beach town of Del Mar, the historic racetrack known as Del Mar sits astride the Pacific Ocean where the dancing summer sea breezes and the sparkling sun make it everyone’s favorite place to go racing. Twenty miles north of San Diego and 100 miles south of Los Angeles has proven just about right for the horse course founded by the show business icon Bing Crosby, who brought along all his Hollywood pals to “race all day and party all night” at a place “where the turf meets the surf.”
