Happy Thursday!
Today our Lundin Line heads to Southern California for an 8-race card at Del Mar. While everyone knows that Del Mar opened in 1937 (when gas was 10 cents per gallon), we bet you didn't know that during the suspension of racing during World War 2, the grounds were used for training by the Marines and then as a manufacturing site for parts for B-17 bombers. Another fun Del Mar fact: in 1949, a young rider from Texas set a Del Mar record with 52 wins at the meet and became the first apprentice to claim the track's riding title. You might have heard of him: William Lee Shoemaker.
We don't know if any records will be set today, but you never know 🤔
