People often think of the Kentucky Derby as the big event where ladies where hats and fascinators at the races. If you have ever travelled to San Diego’s Del Mar Race Track on Opening Day, you will see a plethora of big hats and unusual fascinators.
Del Mar is one of the nation’s loveliest race tracks in my opinion. It’s phrase is “where the surf meets the turf”. Bing Crosby was one of the founders of this racetrack. Hollywood royalty often frequented this track. The address is Jimmy Durante Boulevard.
Over the years, I’ve done many hats for Del Mar Opening Day. Here are few of my favorites.
