Prepaid tickets and promotional tickets are invalid for just the concerts. - Family Fun Day every Saturday and Sunday where the infield offers free entertainment for kids. - Camp Del Mar A Daycare center for the kids while the parents are spending the day at the track. - Giveaway Days The items vary each year what is being given away   Enjoy betting on horses, check-out the beautiful architecture, and have lunch in the clubhouse where you can go down to the paddock and see the horses.   Considered the best Racetrack in the southwest, it’s a great place for amateurs wanting to learn how to play, the people here are friendly and helpful and offer workshops so you can learn all the terms and strategies for winning. Oh yeah... the hotdogs are great too!   ### **Here’s a little more information if you want to learn more: ** The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club racetrack is “Cool as Ever”, an American Thoroughbred horse racing track located at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in the seaside city of Del Mar, California.  Opened July 3 1937, guests were greeted personally by Bing Crosby (the American singer and actor famously known for his best-selling single, White Christmas - 1942).    The historic race track has been a source of fun and entertainment for locals, celebrities, and sports enthusiasts for years.   On August 12, 1938, the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club hosted a $25,000 winner-take-all match race between Charles S. Howard's Seabiscuit and the Binglin Stable's colt, Ligaroti.    In an era when horse racing ranked second in popularity with Americans to Major League Baseball, the match race was much written and talked about and was the first nationwide broadcast of a Thoroughbred race by NBC radio.    In the race, Seabiscuit was ridden by jockey George Woolf and Ligaroti by Noel Richardson. In front of a record crowd that helped make the fledgling Del Mar race track a success, Seabiscuit won by a nose.   If you’re looking to be a part of the history and want to try something new and exciting to experience with friends or family in San Diego, the Del Mar Racing Season is a must and now is the season!   The track races from July to September as well as a second meet in November through early December as of 2018.    ### **Dates:**   Summer racing July 18 - September 3, 2018 Fall racing November 9 - December 2, 2018   ### **Location: **   2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd Del Mar, California   ### Contact:   Phone: +1 858-755-1141 or visit [www.dmtc.com](http://www.dmtc.com/) to learn more.  Share [![Share on facebook](https://blog.steelesandiegohomes.com/hs-fs/hubfs/facebook-color.png?width=39&name=facebook-color.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://blog.steelesandiegohomes.com/event-spotlight-del-mar-racing-season?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook) [![Share on linkedin](https://blog.steelesandiegohomes.com/hs-fs/hubfs/linkedin-color.png?width=39&name=linkedin-color.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://blog.steelesandiegohomes.com/event-spotlight-del-mar-racing-season?utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkedin) Blog posts ### SIMILAR BLOG POSTS [![SEE ALL BLOG POSTS](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/2756673/14844045-54bf-4c52-a6bc-0f2ff7705105.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/2756673/14844045-54bf-4c52-a6bc-0f2ff7705105) ![no image](https://blog.steelesandiegohomes.com/hubfs/image%2044.png) Ideal Neighborhoods to Raise Children in San Diego Choosing a place to live is never an easy decision due to numerous and highly diverse parameters you need to take into account....
