photo credit - Jeremiah Sullivan July 16th, 2006 Since 1937 the Del Mar Race Track has come in first in San Diegan and visitors' "must do" list. Each summer, "The Sport of Kings" draws a mixture of celebrities, local glitteri and regular folk. From the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club to the In-Field, the races are always a fun time. Where else can you run into Bo Derek, Jimmy Durante's widow Marge, comedians Tim Conway and Harvey Corman all on the same day. Mix in a scene of who's who from famed horse trainer Neil Drysdale, to quite of smorgasbord of well dressed and chapeaux'd gents and ladies, and you've got yourself quite the fun occasion! As you walk through the gates, memories swirl of W.C. Fields, Ava Gardner, Bing Crosby, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Jockey legends Bill Shoemaker, John Longden rode and won. Big name horses Best Pal, Victory Gallop, Dare and Go, General Challenge and Skimmer, ran and won big. Really big$$!! Crowds cheered. Winning bets were cashed in … and as yet another season unfolds, look for more history. More thrills, a few spills but always a great time!
