SUMMARY:Del Mar Summer Meet — Opening Day 2026
DESCRIPTION:July 17\, 2026: Opening Day at Del Mar\, and there is nothing in Southern California sports quite like it. The summer meet of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club opens on the third Friday of July with a tradition running since Bing Crosby and Pat O'Brien opened the gates in 1937 — and Opening Day is as much fashion show as horse race\, a gathering that dresses up more completely than any other day on San Diego County's sports calendar. The Pacific Ocean is visible from the upper grandstand. The stretch run comes toward you from the far turn in a way no other racetrack geometry quite replicates. Del Mar's first post is 2pm and the feature races run through late afternoon — bring cash for the mutuel windows\, find a spot in the infield or claim a picnic table on the apron\, and let the afternoon become its own thing. 'Where the surf meets the turf' is not a marketing line. Standing in the grandstand with the ocean two miles to the west\, you understand why they built it here.
