Opening Day at the the Del Mar Racetrack

Hats, hats, and more hats

Opening day at the Del Mar Racetrack was packed. True to San Diego form a wide variety of spectators were in attendance. There were young 20-somethings, the middle-age set, families with young children, tourists, and older folks. I saw women in high-end cocktail dresses paired with Jimmy Choo heels, men in leisure suits and bow ties, visitors in shorts and t-shirts, and people decked out in comic-con inspired garb. The one wardrobe piece nearly everyone had in common were hats.

I ran into a group KUSI staff members outside the Turf Club all sporting oversized hats in celebration of opening day at the races.

Brandi Williams hat was purchased from the Del Mar Hat Company while Leslie Lopez wore a Diana Cavagnaro hat which retail between $350-$900.
