It all starts with Future Stars Friday, where the sport’s stars of tomorrow compete in five Juvenile (two-year-old) races. The non-stop action continues on Saturday where the Breeders’ Cup will crown nine more World Champions across different surfaces and divisions, including the season-defining $6 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic.
In the world of horse racing, the Breeders' Cup is the year-end international championship of the sport. In short: “Racing’s Super Bowl.” The two-day event will attract the best horses and jockeys from around the world to Del Mar.
Enjoy picnic-style seating throughout the Infield, allowing for a variety of views. Additionally, there will be a large bar with covered seating featuring a selection of signature cocktails, craft beers and premium wine offerings. Video boards for viewing the races as well as betting windows will ensure that you don't miss any of the action on the track.
Experience the glamorous beauty of California's Beach City
Plan your trip to watch the world's top thoroughbreds compete for glory in scenic Del Mar, and enhance the experience by staying longer to treat yourself to San Diego's world-class hotels, elegant neighborhoods, luxury sailing trips and VIP excursions.
San Diego horse racing takes place where the "turf meets the surf" at the Del Mar Racetrack. Fans flock to the track each summer to wager on their favorite horses during the popular, annual Del Mar Racetrack racing season, mid-July - early-September. Be part of the magic and nostalgia of this long-time horse race tradition dating back to 1937 when Bing Crosby greeted the first guests, and Seabiscuit won by a nose in the infamous race in 1938. This season features the nation's top racehorses, trainers and jockeys, and plenty of fun in the sun.
