Jeff: Racing looks so exciting on TV.   I have never been to a horse race.  I guess I should go to one because we are loosing our race tracks here in the Bay Area.

Hi Jeff, thanks for the heads up.  My family will be down in Carlsbad next week visiting family and since my wife has never seen the Del Mar track, this just got me thinking we'll stop by.

I do believe I have been to Del Mar. My family was very into horse-racing, and my Dad used to own quite a few in the U.K. These courses are dying. Glad to see Del Mar is still going strong.

A buddy (my best man actually) and I used to go to Del Mar all the time many years ago.  Made 5 Opening Days in a row and a few times each week.  Had lots of free time and hit a few Pick 6 to keep us going back - beer was a lot cheaper too.  Saw Shoemaker, Pincay and quite few other great jockeys.  Bet the gray horse in the 7th for me.

Go to the races all the time when they are in Hollywood Park. Once I bet on a long shot at 107:1. Ah the thrills and the heartbraks of the tracks. Hope you enjoy them down there.

The race track sure does look like a fun place, expecially with the nice weather and open air stadium.

Elizabeth - some of thenm are pretty amazing from the photos I've seen. How can you even walk with a hat tlike that?

Rebecca - I'm impressed. Did you stop at winning?

Kerissa - some other time, then.

Maya - it gets pretty exciting. So did you win?

Jane - I imagine they get expensive to keep up.

Eileen - it's a beautiful site, and you can smell the ocean - it's less than a quarter  mile away.
