Seniors Will Find Thursdays Friendly at Del Mar in 2009
Thursdays are good days for seniors at Del Mar this summer and a pair
of them -- the first (July 23) and last (September 3) of the meet --
are especially sweet.
Those two Thursdays will provide all seniors with both free Stretch Run
admission and a free Stretch Run reserved seat, as the track salutes
its fans aged 62 and up. Additionally, a free program is part of the
mix.
Besides the two special Thursdays, seniors who are members of the
track’s Diamond Club will be granted both free admission and a racing
program by showing their cards on any other Thursday during the 37-day
stand.
Diamond Club cards can be obtained at no cost by a simple sign-up
process that usually takes only a few minutes. All racing fans can
apply for the cards -- which are activated instantly -- both outside
and inside the racetrack throughout the summer. Those wishing to sign
up in advance of the season can do so at Del Mar’s ITW facility --
Surfside Race Place on the Del Mar Fairgrounds. On racing days other
than Thursday, the Diamond Club card ensures seniors 50% off admission
price, while the card is good for 50% off admission on every racing day
for all non-seniors.
The track’s season begins on Wednesday, July 22 and runs through
Wednesday, September 9. Racing will be conducted on a Wednesday through
Sunday basis.
