Del Mar Race Track
History of Del Mar Race Track
Del Mar's Legendary Number of Attendance
Del Mar is one of the racetracks that created history in horse racing as it continues to do outstanding numbers–30,578 for daily average attendance (1st in the nation) and a record $12,115,024 for daily average handle (2nd nationally). It also crowned a couple of new kings, and in 2006, it received a 42,005 audience, the second-largest crowd in track history. Even in 2010, despite the continuing recession that tightened the businesses, the track still managed to increase the daily on-track body count to 17,906, which hadn’t been seen on the local scene since pre-ITW days. Then, the following year (2011), the track’s Opening Day attendance rose to a single-day record of 46,588.
