I enjoyed your post. I attend the races at Del Mar every race day. I believe Del Mar did an excellent job again (last race on Friday an exception but not sure who to fault). I spoke with the DMTC VP and she acknowledged it was a disaster. Other than that -- a joy.

Glad you had a chance to go to Pacific Coast Grill. One of my favorites. The owner also owns The Belly Up. Very fun concert venue in Solana Beach down the street. Try it next time.
