Opening Day at the 2012 Del Mar Races



A Day At The Races!
This was our first time attending the Corona Del Mar Races. A place where tradition never goes out of style. We took the 9:50 train from Irvine arriving in Solano Beach around 10:56am. While on our way to races we met with a few friends at the local bar in Solano beach waiting for the next double decker shuttle bus to arrive and take us to our final destination at the Del Mar fair grounds.


upon are arrival, we met with Brads long time friend Taylor Baffert who presented us with VIP tickets to the Turf Club. Taylors father is well known trainer, owner Bob Baffert; Know for his reabilitation with race horses.


We were invited into the bafferts and friends luxury suite where we ate, drank and enjoyed the company of horse races enthusiasts. I had the "luck" of meeting three old grandpa's dressed in the traditional 50's attire who directed me on which horse to bet on. Needless to say, I won 5 straight races until it came time to leave.
