A bit of Del Mar history now. Bing Crosby was one of the track’s founder-members, and its first President. He was also at the gate to greet racegoers in person when it opened in July 1937, and one of his horses, and his horse High Strike won the track’s very first race, which does not seem to have raised any eyebrows at all in those more innocent times.
