Breeders cup races but from the infield one could not see the races. Had to watch on a big screen. Could have stayed home and done that.

I loved attending the 2017 Breeders Cup race at Del Mar racetrack. A first for Del Mar, there were some issues regarding sufficient seating availability ( You have to buy chairs but they ran out early) poor placement of television screens ( The Sun was shining directly into the screens making it almost impossible to see the screen) insufficient bathrooms( The primary ladies Room had only 5 toilet stalls that were working), Sufficient tram services from parking 2 main entrances( it was about .5 mile from uber drop to entrance to infield tunnel entrance, then at least .25 mile to GA viewing location) and worst of all, departing was an absolute nightmare.
We had taken lift into the parking lot and walked as discussed above. When it was time to leave we walked about a mile to get into the line for lyft and Uber. Then we waited an hour without moving an inch, nor did the private cars attempting to exit. Finally we found out that there were no Uber drivers available. We personally called and connected with a Lyft driver who had been stuck in the lyft/uber lot for 1.5 hours, and we made our way to him and successfully exited parking lot in about 35 minutes thereafter much sooner than the hundreds of people still standing in the Uber lines.
It was a wonderful event, but marred by these matters of courtesy that we have come to expect. Especially when infield tickets were over $150 each cheapest available yes. But I worried about my daughter, a chemotherapy patient, my 8 month pregnant niece, and my 70something guest being on th fir feet so long.
I'm sure Del Mar will do better next time.response / report this review -

Always a fun time. Especially when you win! $6 entry fee and free seating available. Of course you can upgrade your seating as well for a true "horse derby" experience.

An absolute gem of a place to gamble away excess money you don't want. Cool and comfortable. Good table service.

Del Mar has to get 5 stars in anyone's book. This place is always fantastic, has so many events through out the year and then the best horse racing there is. We're volunteering for the fair activities including video and animation judging of the students' art.
