Cool as Ever<\/b><\/p>\n

The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club began their racing season on July 17. This year marked the 75th anniversary of fun in the sun. Hats are a focal point of opening day and the fans come all decked out. It is one of the biggest fashion events of the year. Some of the crowd wears designer hats and others come from all over the country with hats they have made for the famous hat contest.<\/p>\n
