Fall horse racing is back with the 2015 “Bing Crosby Season” at Del Mar. Horse racing fans can ride the Coaster to the races all season long from October 29 through November 29, Thursdays to Sundays.
NCTD is once again offering the Pony Express combination ticket for just $11, which includes Stretch Run Admission (regularly $6) and round-trip Coaster fare (regularly $11) and a free shuttle between the Solana Beach Coaster Station and the track. That’s a 35 percent savings on top of the savings from the $10 in parking fees fans can avoid by not driving to the races. The one-day ticket is available every race day during the special fall Bing Crosby season.
Advanced or same day tickets can be purchased online or through the Coaster mobile app. Same-day tickets are also available at the ticket vending machines at every NCTD transit station by selecting the “Current Promotions” button.
Take the Shuttle from Solana Beach Station to the Track
Transit riders can take the Coaster or Breeze bus route 101 to the Solana Beach Transit Station. From there, double-decker buses sponsored by the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club will shuttle race fans to the Del Mar Racetrack for every race. Show your Pony Express ticket at the Diamond Club booth near the Stretch Run gate at the track to receive your race admission ticket. The Double-Decker shuttle is free and leaves the track 15 minutes after every race ends.
Concert Admission
On concert days, you must enter the track gates with your Pony Express ticket before the last race. If you do not enter before the last race, admission is $20.
