Tip of the Week: May 26, 2007

Daybreak at Del Mar, is a special event that takes place each

Saturday and Sunday morning during the Del Mar racing season.

If you have never checked it out, do it. Arrive between 7:30am and 9:30am for a breakfast trackside at the Clubhouse Terrace Restaurant, but breakfast does end at 9:30. Enjoy your breakfast overlooking the stretch and watch the magnificent horses go through their daily morning work-outs. The breakfast buffet is $9.95.

Jeff Bloom, a former jockey gives information and commentary on horse-racing and specific horses out on the the track each Daybreak at Del Mar morning. San Diegans and even track-goers don't know about this special offering each weekend. It truly is a special thing to do.

To attend, park in the main lot off Jimmy Durante Blvd., then proceed through the Clubhouse entrance to the second floor. There is no charge for admission to the event, but an $8 parking fee applies. (Those buying two or more breakfasts will have the parking price deducted off the price of their bill.)

Valet and preferred parking are available but at a higher price - be sure to follow the signs and ask the attendant.

Since 2000, this has been one of San Diego's best kept secrets. Check it out for yourself, you'll enjoy it
