Bus Excursion: Del Mar Thoroughbred Horse Races

Come to where the "surf meets the turf" at exciting Del Mar Race Track! It was back in the summer of 1937 when Bing Crosby and his Hollywood pals put the finishing touches on their getaway spot down by the sea; and it hardly took any time at all for a tradition to be born and carried on. It's a tradition that, to this day, echoes the relaxed idea that "nobody's in a hurry but the horses." In 1993, the track unveiled its fully completed $80 million reconstruction, a bit of work that allows the past to linger among the modern-day amenities. We'll arrive in time for lunch on your own at the track. Our seats are conveniently located near the wagering windows, cocktail bars and concession stands. Join us for a fun, relaxed afternoon at Del Mar this summer
