Ready to liven up your summer with something truly special? TOC Owner Social Hour at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club is calling your name! This is not your ordinary get-together. Imagine a breezy afternoon on the third floor, the vibrant hum of fellow owners, and sweeping views of the ocean and paddock—all with a chilled drink in hand. The Celebrity Grill Patio is about to become your new favorite social stop in Del Mar.
Light Bites, Bright Smiles
If racing brings excitement, this social hour is pure delight. From 1pm to 2pm on Saturday, August 16, 2025, the TOC Owner Social Hour offers a whirlwind of good vibes. Light bites are on the menu—think nibbles you can easily enjoy while laughing with new and familiar friends. Drinks? They’re covered, too, so there’s no need to decide between sparkling water or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc. Why not have both?
Effortless Mingling
Social butterflies and easygoing chatters are equally at home here. No speeches, no drawn-out ceremonies—just time carved out for lively conversation. There’s no pressure, just pleasure in sharing company with fellow owners who get exactly why you love the thrill of race day.
Your Plus-One Is Welcome!
Why hoard all the fun for yourself? Licensed owners are encouraged to bring one guest along, so whether it’s your partner, best friend, or favorite racing buddy, let them enjoy the flavor of the paddock social scene, too. Just remember—space is limited, so a quick RSVP is a smart move.
