Day @ the Races 2021

The annual gathering of BC Eagles at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club (not held in 2020) took place Sunday, November 21. More than two dozen alumni, friends, and family members watched the ponies run from seats at tables high above the track in the Turf Club.

Here’s the official photo of the setting and view.

Participants could also enjoy the Turf Club lounge (official photo below) and place their bets in those comfortable surroundings. You can see the location of the photo at the top of this post at left, rear.

The San Diego Chapter usually aims at the fall season, called the “Bing Crosby Season” after one of the track’s founders. It’s also referred to as the “BC Season,” so there is something of a natural connection.

Look for information about another “Day at the Races” next fall!

More than a dozen local Eagles, family members, and friends enjoyed a “day at the races” yesterday at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club.

Viewing the races from tables at the Turf Club, they enjoyed food, drink, the look and ambience of where “the turf meets the surf,” and, occasionally, modest winnings.

Happy to welcome several alumni from the Los Angeles area!

At Petco

More than 30 San Diego Eagles, friends, and family members gathered yesterday at Petco Park for the Red Sox-Padres game. Seats were located on “The Rail,” within the iconic Western Metal Supply Company building. 

There were Padres fans among the group, and they enjoyed the 3-1 win for the home team. BoSox had taken the first two games of the series.

Here’s the view.

Here’s also some video (0:54) of the pre-game performance by the Leap Frogs, the U.S. Navy Parachute Team, which dropped by from nearby Coronado.
