I worry about California racing. I absolutely love Del Mar and would hate to see it go. I have really fond memories of taking the Coaster to Solana Beach and getting in the double decker bus for the ride to the track. One of the drivers played ukulele while waiting for the bus to fill up. The adobe architecture and cascading flowers everywhere give the feeling of a lazy afternoon siesta. The paddock is surrounded with birds of paradise and vibrant red bougainvillea. No matter how you feel about Bob Baffert, he's always easy to spot in the paddock.
Now, I want to go to Del Mar!!
