We finally made it to an Opening Day at the Del Mar Races. We arrived as soon as the gates opened. Here is my wife just past the turnstiles at 11:30 in the morning.
The main hall was still empty!
It was a beautiful day - just the perfect temperature, not too bright, not too dark. Just excellent.
Looking towards the finish line from our seats.
The first race. And they're off!
I don't gamble, and my wife only spent like $20 the whole day. Not sure which horse our money was on - I didn't really care. I was just enjoying the atmosphere.
In front of the club house before we entered.
Another race!
Warming up.
A race on the dirt track.
Opening day is hat day at Del Mar.
A view of the ocean from our seats.
It was a lovely relaxing afternoon as we sat there sipping our Mint Juleps. My new favorite drink. :-)
