Del Mar Horse Racing 2025

Today was a day of horseracing in Del Mar, California—a place long known for its strong ties to the equestrian world. Del Mar has a rich history with horses, including a once-excellent polo club that, sadly, was closed some years ago. (😢 Maybe one day they’ll bring it back utilizing the racetrack facilities.)

The crowds were out in full force, and the entire event was easy to navigate. Here are a few photos for your enjoyment.
