San Diego Eagles gathered for a day at the races Saturday. It was the penultimate day of the fall or Bing Crosby (or, to us, BC) season at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, “where the turf meets the surf.”

View from our Turf Club Seats

The chapter was able to fill five tables in the track’s Turf Club, which offers an excellent view of the track and finish line, as well as food and other refreshments. Even with the view, each table had a monitor, which enabled all to watch what was right in front of us. :)

There was no tally of wins and losses, but many in attendance expressed their enjoyment of the afternoon.

Racing season doesn’t come again until mid-July, with the next BC Season beginning in early November. We’ll look at have another event in one or both of the seasons next year.
