Pizza 'n Ponies Rides on Thursdays This Season at Del Mar
Pizza 'n Ponies, a popular racetrack special that makes folks instant winners when they come through the gate, will be a Thursday feature throughout the Del Mar meeting this summer.
Working with one of its prime partners -- Oggi's Pizza & Brewing Co. -- Del Mar Thoroughbred Club has put together a discount package that’s sure to finish on top with racing fans during the seven-week session that opens on Wednesday, July 22.
For just $11, here’s what a Pizza 'n Ponies player gets: a Stretch Run admission, a program, a reserved Stretch Run seat, an Oggi's personal cheese pizza and a soft drink. Bought individually, those same items would cost $22.
There's even an option to dress up the pizza, if you'd rather: For just $1 more the Oggi's folks will make it a pepperoni pizza; or for $2 extra it can be a racetrack special "Pacific Classic" pizza.
Racing fans can go to any of the 18 Oggi's restaurants throughout Southern California and pick up a coupon for the discount. Then on any Thursday throughout the 37-day meeting, the presentation of the coupon along with $11 is entitlement to the full package. The coupons will be available at Oggi's starting on July 9.
Del Mar's 70th racing season runs until Wednesday, September 9. Racing will be conducted on a Wednesday through Sunday basis throughout the summer stand.
