Del Mar Racing

Just 20 minutes outside of San Diego, Del Mar is one of the most gorgeous (and expensive) places in California. My grandpa used to take my mom to the racetrack when she was growing up so it was a fun day of memories for my family. I haven’t been since I was younger so I was really excited to get to experience it again. My parents bought a Groupon for only $5 a person, and then when we got there the lady ended up letting me and my sister in for free (perks of looking under 17!)Figuring out how to bet can be a little confusing for newbies, but once you learn the basics it’s pretty easy to place $2 bets on the funniest or best sounding horse name. The summer season runs until September 7th, so make sure to head out there soon!
