Extended Stay San Diego Hotel Near Del Mar Racetrack

When Del Mar opened in 1937, Bing Crosby was at the gate to personally greet his arriving fans. On August 12, 1938, the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club hosted a $25,000 winner-take-all match race between Seabiscuit and Ligaroti. In an era when horse racing ranked second in popularity with Americans to Major League Baseball the match race was much written and talked about and was the first nationwide broadcast of a Thoroughbred race by NBC radio. In front of a record crowd that helped make the fledgling Del Mar race track a success, Seabiscuit won an exciting battle by a nose. Racing season is July through September, and the track is open Wednesday through Sunday.
