Del Mar Racetrack
In 1937, Bing Crosby greeted the first guests to the Del Mar Racetrack. The famed Seabiscuit race drew 20,000 fans to the track in 1938. The Del Mar Racetrack established itself early on as a playground to the stars, which attracted such famed celebrities as Ava Gardner, Pat O’Brien, Jimmy Durante, Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Mickey Rooney and many more. The excitement continues today as the Del Mar Racetrack now attracts over one million fans each season throughout its six week run. (Learn more about Del Mar Racetrack here)
