It’s that time of year again! Opening Day at the Del Mar Racetrack is this Wednesday, July 19th. As one of the largest events in San Diego County, Opening Day is sure to attract large crowds.

The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club is expecting upwards of 40,000 guests on Wednesday to take part in this San Diego tradition. Horse Races at Del Mar have taken place for decades, and the Opening Day event has always been a showcase of both racing and fashion. Guests will have the opportunity to watch Opening Day races and place bets on their favorites.

Opening Day is also all about style, and the tradition of women wearing hats takes on a new character with the Opening Day Hat Contest. More than $5,000 in cash and prizes will be awarded for the most creative hats across several categories.

There are several different ticketing options for Opening Day, from the grandstand to VIP seating. Indulge in many of the offerings of Del Mar Racetrack and enjoy a day in the beautiful San Diego sun!
