   Del Mar Tips Sheet • Opening Day in 2008 is July 16, with racing continuing thru Sept. 3, • Purchase the Clubhouse pass over the GA. For $3 extra, it doubles the access area, is less crowded and increases socializing opportunities. It's $8. For groups or a date, a reservation at one of the restaurants is recommended ($60 for table of 4 on weekends, plus admission). • Arrive by 1; races are generally 2-5 p.m. Any later, especially for big events like Opening Day, will cause much frustration with lines at the bars and betting areas (even getting in poses a challenge as Del Mar is overwhelmed when large crowds arrive). • Get drinks from concession stands instead of the "pubs." The lines are shorter. • Bet a horse to win & place or win, place and show (called "across the board"). Stay clear from trifectas and exactas; while payoffs are large, they are hard to hit. • The handicappers, their reviews available in the free program and race forum newspaper ($4), are knowledgeable but it's difficult for even them to consistently pick race winners. • Beers are $6 for 16-ounce American, $8 import. Mixed drinks are $6-8; shakers are $11.50 (bloody marys, margaritas, rum runners and martinis). • GA Parking is $5. • Small 6-pack coolers (no alcohol) and fold-up chairs allowed inside. • The train stop is Solana Beach; the track provides buses to the track. • Directions, events, on-line ticket sales at the Del Mar Web Site. | ||
