WHERE THE TURF MEETS THE SURF ...



... down at Old Del Mar.




In loving memory of my aunt & uncle, Martina & Donald B. Smith - so much a part of the organizational "family" of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club for three decades - so much a part of MY life, growing up, and my love of all-things-equine ... I post these evocative lyrics:




WHERE THE TURF MEETS THE SURF


(Johnny Burke / Bing Crosby / James V. Monaco)


Performed by: Bing Crosby


"Where the turf meets the surf down at old Del Mar,


Take a plane, take a train, take a car.


There is a smile on every face


and a winner in each race


Where the turf meets the surf at Del Mar."
