Santa Anita is an Art Deco masterpiece in a beautiful setting against a backdrop of the San Gabriel Mtn foothills. If you are interested in Seabiscuit, this was his home track and there is a lovely statue of him. Get a clubhouse ticket. Plenty to eat and drink. On a pretty Southern California day, it's a fine place to be.

Santa Anita Race Park is a beautiful Race Park nestled in the heart of Pasadena. What fun to go and bet on the ponies!

We stopped in here for lunch and stayed for a few races. I made reservations since the weather was cool. You get a table with a television screen and that's your table for they afternoon. It's pricey but the service and food and the view and ambiance made it worth it. I hit a trifecta and paid for the day.... More

This is a great place for a bunch of friends to get together and hang out. You can go through the underground tunnel and stand in the infield. You can stand inside if its too hot outside. You can go to the clubhouse for an additional $9 (we liked it there and thought it was well worth it). The entry... More
