It is the responsibility of every member to conduct themselves in a courteous and reasonable manner and to abide by the established rules and procedures of the Turf Club, including the Dress Policy, and of the California Horse Racing Board. Failure to do so may result in forfeiture of membership. DMTC reserves the right to cancel, revoke or suspend membership privileges with or without cause at any time in its sole discretion.

Membership cards are for the use of members only and are non-transferable. Membership cards may be used by the member named thereon or by a guest when accompanied by a member. In the event circumstances prevent the member from accompanying his guest, the guest will be admitted on the member’s card providing the member has received the approval of the Turf Club Office in advance. Membership Cards are valid for both Summer and Fall race meets.  

Members found selling their credentials and/or Turf Club Guest Admission coupons, in any location, including the internet, risk losing their membership privileges.

While guests of members are welcome, members are asked to exercise proper judgment by extending guest invitations on a selective basis. Members are entirely responsible for the conduct and attire of their guests, and any violation of Turf Club rules or dress policy by guests will reflect upon the member’s standing in the Club.

Charge Guest Coupons: For the convenience of members, a book of 20 guest coupons will be enclosed in the membership packet. These coupons are valid on any day of the meet, with the exception of Opening Day. A guest fee will be charged to the member's account upon use. In order for a guest coupon to be valid the member must sign the ticket. Loss of a Turf Club admission coupon book should be reported immediately. Additional coupon books are available to members upon request. Any member whose account is over 90 days delinquent is subject to membership privileges being revoked and must have a credit card on file for automatic billing.

Opening Day Guest Coupons: Each member is provided two Opening Day Turf Club Admission Guest Coupons that will be charged to their member account, upon use, at $150.00.
