Del Mar: Southern California's Horse Racing Capital

By Ross Everett

Southern California's Del Mar Racetrack has been somewhat forgotten by the general public in recent years, overshadowed by East Coast venues like Churchill Downs and Belmont Park. The reality is that the 72 year old track has a history to rival their better known counterparts. Operated by the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club and located 20 miles North of San Diego, its perhaps most famous for its iconic slogan "Where The Surf Meets the Turf" but that only scratches the surface of its star studded history.

The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club was founded in the mid'30s, and they immediately turned their attention to building a world class horse racing venue. The names that were instrumental in the creation of Del Mar include a whos who of American entertainment--most notably Bing Crosby, Oliver Hardy (of Laurel and Hardy) and Jimmy Durante. At the time the facility opened thoroughbred horse racing was the second most popular sport in America behind major league baseball, and Del Mar's show biz roots further helped secure its place as an important stop on the racing circuit.

The starpower drawn to the course was unprecedented. Bing Crosby himself greeted patrons at the gate on opening day, and during the late'30s and early'40s it became a place to be seen for Hollywood A-listers and those who aspired for celebrity. In addition to known gambling enthusiasts like W.C. Fields, Edgar Bergen and Red Skelton, the Del Mar patrons during that time also included some of the top female stars of the era including Ava Gardner, Paulette Goddard and Dorothy Lamour

In'38, Del Mar hosted an internationally anticipated match race between Seabiscuit and Ligaroti. This event drew a record crowd and gained worldwide notoriety for the track. Seabiscuit won the $25,000 winner-take-all duel by a nose, and would forever be enshrined in the annals of American popular culture. Horse racing at Del Mar continued to be a smash until the facility went dark in'41 due to World War II. It would remain closed until'45, and for a time was used as a training facility by the military.

After the war, Del Mar reopened with a bang. The track reopened the day after Japan formally surrendered to Allied forces, and on that day Del Mar attracted over 20,000 fans through its gates who wagered what at the time was a record $958,476. The postwar prosperity was also a boon to Del Mar, which also benefitted from the Santa Fe Railroads daily Racetrack Special that brought bettors down from Los Angeles to enjoy a day at the track. During the latter part of the decade a new crop of Hollywood glitterati would flock to Del Mar, including Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, Mickey Rooney John Holmes, Frank Sinatra and Jimmy Durante. Durante would become such a regular that the turf course at Del Mar would later be renamed in his honor.

The annual race meet at Del Mar remains a highlight of the summer to this day. Del Mar remains one of the top tracks in the country, and have recently upgraded their facility with a state of the art grandstand and was one of the first tracks to install a new synthetic racing surface.

Enhance A Room Using A Canvas Painting

By Anna Hicks

Artwork painted on a canvas surface that is stretched over a wooden frame support is called simply canvas painting. Before work can be done on the canvas it must be double primed with Gesso acrylic medium and allowed to dry completely.

Since its discovery, canvas has been used to showcase beautiful works in watercolors, oil, acrylic and regular paint art.

The canvas was then removed from the wooden frame and placed inside a frame on a board. Sometimes, it is left on the wooden support without a frame.

It has become a norm that the canvas stays on the wooden support and left frameless. This is the modern artists' way of uncluttering the wall space and bringing the room together.

Modern art has moved the canvas art into the 3-dimensional arena. It uses a deep edge style canvas that stands out from the wall and brings the room's focus to it. The edges of this style of art are made to resemble the rest of the painting which then removes the need for a frame.

For their living rooms and work spaces, people often turn to canvas paintings. There are many types for people to choose from such seascapes and landscapes, abstract textured forms and modern contemporary.

Canvas paintings can add dimension to a newly decorated living room pulling out the personality of the owner. Depending upon the owner tastes the artwork can describe a person's individual characteristics, private thoughts and provide inspiration.

Finding the perfect canvas painting is easily done on the internet. Not only can you look at a larger selection than possible in a gallery, but you might also be able to speak directly to the artist. The artist then could possibly be commissioned to create art based on your personal suggestion.
