The Del Mar Races: A Summer Tradition

Whether driving or using public transit, getting to the racetrack is straightforward and convenient.
A Bit of History and the Racetrack
The Del Mar Racetrack is an American Thoroughbred horse racing track located at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in Del Mar, California. The track was built by a partnership including Bing Crosby, who greeted fans personally on opening day in 1937. The Del Mar Racetrack is famous for hosting a match race in 1938 between Seabiscuit and Ligaroti, which drew national attention and solidified the track's place in racing history.
