July’s All
About Horses In Del Mar
Get ready to place your trifectas and superfectas on July 21,
when horse racing season commences at the Del Mar Racetrack.
Arguably, opening day at the tracks is the highlight of summer
in San Diego and brings out the socialite in all of us. It also
brings out some of the most beautiful and humorous hats in the
county, as it is the day of the One and Only Truly Fabulous Hats
Contest. Jockeys such as Gary Stevens and Julie Krone remind
us that toughness has nothing to do with size, and it all contributes
to the buzz of big winnings, majestic thoroughbreds, and fun
in the sun. —
