Get there early in the morning and check out Clockers Corner for a good breakfast . And a chance to see the horses working along with some of the owners and jockeys.
Hand carved sandwiches forever burned in my memory. Fresh bread . The corned beef and roast beef are both worth getting. SO. GOOD.
The Frontrunner restaurant is great and the food at the Clubhouse Terrace is good. A fun weekend event . Make reservations at either restaurant . Terrace is outside.
Named the most gorgeous racetrack in the country . I am a native of Kentucky and would have to agree that this track is in a gorgeous convenient location.
In 1942, Used as an "Assembly Center" of Japanese Americans on the West Coast during WW2 before they were shipped off to "Internment Camps". Pictured below is a woman next to a statue of Sea Biscuit .
Now that Hollywood Park@is closed, Santa Anita is my track !!!! They were two totally different vibes. But if you want beautiful vistas and always fun infield activities SA is for you!!!
You wouldn't think that a horse track with massive amounts of gambling going on would be a suitable place for kids but check the infield ! My daughter loved the playground and they also have pony rides
Here is the new home for the Cal Philharmonic. Come and enjoy the Festival on the Green concert series, a perfect way to spend a summer evening with your family, friends and Maestro Victor Vener.
The food in the Frontrunners club is fantastic! Had the short ribs today and the meat fell apart on the fork. The strawberry shortcake dessert was light and delicious! You also can't beat the service.
take one of the classes they offer on the basics of horse racing . it will make your visit a lot more fun and might help you to win some more $! They're normally held around 11 a.m.
Well the back to school event happens every year for the month of August for the kid's are heading back to school.
if you can, get a table in the clubhouse (not sure of the name) that overlooks the track with big glass windows . have lunch , enjoy a drink, place a bet on the ponies - life could be a lot worse.
Iconic place to watch horse racing . Get a hot dog and a beer in the infield and enjoy!
Such a fun place, we had a box, was awesome, can see everything from there , just staff not very pleasant
Most seats in club house can’t see track you need to stand and move around to watch race
Good for a cheap day out, plus drinks. Gets hot, but plenty of shade to be found.
Play hooky on Friday to take advantage of free box seats and $1 specials on all the junk food Santa Anita has to offer. You know what that means, more money to lay down on your favorite horse. Read more
Spring the extra $15 for access to the Turf Club. You’ll have to wear pants and a collar but you’ll feel like a villain from a Bond movie , as opposed to the masses sitting in the infield . Read more
It's a really nice place. Though I have never been here during the races.
The Bud Light Lounge rocks! Buffet , adult beverage , race day program included and only $20 bucks!
My first win at Santa Anita Track
When it gets hot middle of the day track dirt gets deep favoring stalkers and closers get those winners
The Chandelier Room, private boxes

Truly one of the epic, historic American racetracks . What more is there to say?
Dippin' Dots in the infield ! Great place for the kiddos!
Bet on the brown horse! He usually wins.
Great way for me to unwind from work.
Don't forget you can bring a cooler! Just no glass, and technically no outside alcohol .
Come early for a quick shopping trip at the mall before the races. ;-)
Great place to come with friends

The infield is where it's at! Great park and pony rides for the kiddos too.
Go get a loge seat. Place your bet, grab a made-to order ham or turkey sandwich and a draft beer , then sit and enjoy your horse's triumph!
Don't feel bad for the horses! They love to run... It's what they are bred to do! Love this sport !
