About Del Mar Racing Hotel

Del Mar Racing was the brainchild of one William Quigley, a former college coach. Quigley felt the San Diego area could benefit from more horse racing tracks, despite nearby Santa Anita Park opening several years prior. Along with Bing Crosby, he built a track on Del Mar Fairgrounds and hosted the first race in 1946 – what came to be known as Bing Crosby Stakes.

By the 1950s, the Bing Crosby Stakes had begun to attract a large following, transforming the Del Mar Racing track into one of the hotspots of horse racing and sports betting in San Diego area. The establishment would undergo a further increase in stature under current manager Joe Harper. Today, it’s considered one of the premium tracks in the US.
