| Welcome to the Del Mar Yacht Club |
Opening Day Information
- Wednesday - July 18, 2012
- Seabiscuit SkyRoom (Limited to 170 Guests)
- Killer View. Two outdoor patios - a smaller one that you can "lean on the rail" and get a great view of
the track action. And then there is the "Big Bubba" that offers great views of both the Pacific Ocean
and the track. You can also "lean on the rail" of that one as well. - Outdoor tables on the Big Bubba. Includes free Pacific breezes and sunshine. Shade or Sun tables.
Can't get any better than that. Of course, you can choose to remain in the air-conditioned comfort
inside of the SkyRoom. It has many individual tables that offer unsurpassed views of the "track
action." - Delicious Del Mar Deli Buffet Lunch from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. You will enjoy it. Yum! And it is included in
your ticket purchase price. - Large, easy to use shaded buffet table on the Big Bubba. You can attack that thing from two directions
so that you can quickly erect your own "Dagwood Sandwich" to your liking. Best deli west of Carnegie
in New York City. New York City? Get a rope. "Seconds" are allowed. But, be careful on this one, and
pace yourself. Your barge can quickly become over-filled. Burp. FOD on deck. Clean up on Aisle 3.
Sweepers, sweepers... - Cocktails, wine, beer, coffee, decaf, tea, and soft drinks are served on the Big Bubba and inside the
SkyRoom at our very own private watering holes. The coffee, decaf, tea, and water are free. So are
the ice cubes. The rest (sorry, mate) you have to pay for yourself - right out of your own prize money.
Two holes this year. You can also order a bottle of your favorite champagne or wine for you and your
special guest to share. - Two wagering windows inside the Seabiscuit SkyRoom with live parimutuel attendants, and three easy-
to-use wagering machines in the SkyRoom. Yikes! Five ways to place a bet. No waiting lines here. - Giant Infield video monitor so that you can clearly and easily see what is happening throughout the
race - even on the back stretch. Binoculars are no longer required (unless you want to peep at the
crowd below). It's great. - Plenty of video monitors inside the SkyRoom so that you can easily "view the action" from the Del Mar
track and paddock, as well as the rest of the tracks that are racing that day. View the "odds", etc. on
one screen, view the paddock on another, view races at other tracks on another. And you can wager
on any of the races at any of the tracks - right from "our" SkyRoom. - Lot's of audio outputs so that you can easily "hear the call" from the Trevor.
- The Del Mar Yacht Club has sponsored a race every year. Two lucky Club individuals will be selected
to be photographed in the Winner's Circle with the Winning Horse, Jockey, Owner, and Trainer. - Rest rooms just a few steps away.
- Doors Open at 11:30 a.m.
- First Post at 2:00 p.m.
- Smoking is allowed on the outdoor patios.
- Cigars, Cigarettes, Cigarillos. Pipes. No tobacco inside the SkyRoom, please.
- Del Mar Thoroughbred Club.
- Del Mar, California.

Listen to the Trevor calling a race!
You will hear his call on Opening Day - in the Seabiscuit Skyroom at
the track, where the surf meets the turf at Del Mar.

The Flag is Up...And away they go!...2012
Del Mar 2012 is underway. Enjoy the season!
Hold your horses, and hang on to your saddle horn. Check "The List" to make sure
that your name is there, and then check inside your saddle bags when you arrive at
the En Fuego Cantina on 7/17/12 at 6 p.m. There will be a ticket in there waiting just
for you...somewhere between the hardtack and bacon. Boing!

- Your tickets will not be mailed to you, even though the cart indicates "free shipping." You must pick them up
yourself at En Fuego or at the Group Sales Will Call Window at the track. The reason that the shipping is free is
because the tickets will not be shipped! You must collect them in person in Del Mar. - For Del Mar Yacht Club members who are due the $5.00 discount on your ticket purchase, we will get it to you.
Either cash in hand at En Fuego, or "at the box." But you will get it. - Now, let's get the fleet underway.

Check weather conditions / forecasts (del mar 92014, solana beach 92075) and traffic conditions and here on
Opening and Closing Days - so that you will know what to expect. Hint for all of you Dick Tracey's : Expect
crowded roads, and plan accordingly. Your Best Bet is to arrive early. REPEAT: Arrive early at the track!
Plan on it. Be first in line at 11:30 a.m. It is easy! Why waste your time on the road in a traffic jam waiting to
happen (unless that is your definition of fun, excitement, and adventure) and spoil your day, when you can be
enjoying the view and activities at the track? Arrive early...take a walkabout...look at some pictures that are all
over the place. Learn some history. Acquaint yourself with the many amenities. Buy a shirt at Silks. Check out
the hats on the gals. Join the Diamond Club. Make a day of it! Forget the half-day at the office excuse. Enjoy
breakfast at one of the local eating establishments, and fun-on from there. Some places offer free / nearly free
shuttles to the track. Use 'em.
Special Top Secret Advice for Del Mar Yacht Clubbers - If you do not wish to fight the traffic grind at the track,
park at the Solana Beach Train Station. Click this too. And this. You can arrive at the station by auto, Amtrak,
Coaster. Lot's of ways. San Diego Trolley from Tijuana. Click this. Or Amtrak from Seattle - or anywhere else.
Then, take the double-decker to the track - it is a only a short one mile ride away. The deckers leave and return
frequently. Leave the driving to them. But...and this is a big butt...you must arrive early, or you will be left
standing in the biggest wait list line ever delivered from hell. Peruse the Union Tribune, Racing Digest, and Daily
Racing Form on the way to clue you in on your bets. Or gab with the neighbors. The time will pass quickly. Give
the driver a one buck tip each way. It's worth it. And you can even make it a 2fer, if you wish. Arrive / park at the
station in the morning, trot across the street to Mr.T's. Enjoy a "down home style" breakfast, then take a decker to
the track. You can even take a walk on the beach in between those activities - you know, so that you "walk off"
your breakfast. Make a day of it...it only happens once a year. Take advantage of it. It is fun. It really is!

Seabiscuit SkyRoom. And the Commodores don't care how cute your Mother-In-Law sez they are.
