Not as deep of a pull as you might think. Der Bingle was a founding director of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club when the track was built in 1936. He had a large estate in Rancho Santa Fe a few miles east of there. They’ve been using that as their theme song ever since. It doesn’t have the cachet or history of the triple crown tracks but there’s a lot of tradition there (at least for California). And there’s no track with a nicer setting.
I grew up about 1.5 miles worth of there. I only went there a couple of times, and one of those times I went just to see a post-races concert by David Benoit.

Roux, I haven’t seen someone so excited about eugenics since the 1940’s. Equine eugenics. Just to be fair.
It isn't just me.

So yeah, this fine specimen is now one of the most pampered and most watched horses on the planet.
