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.

Lauren Dellaquila

Hand carved sandwiches forever burned in my memory. Fresh bread . The corned beef and roast beef are both worth getting. SO. GOOD.

Marsha Naify

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.

Adam Ashley

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!!!

Nick Thompson

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

Jack Chen

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.

Margie G

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.

James Jacobs

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.

Joseph Warren

Well the back to school event happens every year for the month of August for the kid's are heading back to school.

James Jacobs

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.

John Kidde

Iconic place to watch horse racing . Get a hot dog and a beer in the infield and enjoy!

Tiana Niki

Such a fun place, we had a box, was awesome, can see everything from there , just staff not very pleasant

Steven Hazel

Most seats in club house can’t see track you need to stand and move around to watch race

John Cassillo

Good for a cheap day out, plus drinks. Gets hot, but plenty of shade to be found.

AskMen

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

Bachelor10

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

Michelle Arnaiz-Dela Rosa

It's a really nice place. Though I have never been here during the races.

Mark Goluskin

The Bud Light Lounge rocks! Buffet , adult beverage , race day program included and only $20 bucks!

Aileen Brazeau

My first win at Santa Anita Track

David Sanches

When it gets hot middle of the day track dirt gets deep favoring stalkers and closers get those winners

Lauren Brown

The Chandelier Room, private boxes

Stevie L

Thoroughbred horses were born to run. Support horse racing in California, and the thousands of employees in this industry

Tobie C

Pick up a handicapping sheet at the front right after the entrance. They're not sure bets, but helps to find common favorites.

Carlos Torres

I came for the kroq microbrew and won front row tickets to Depeche Mode! Awesome! Thanks Kroq

Niku

Amazing place to catch a horse race

Truly one of the epic, historic American racetracks . What more is there to say?

Dippin' Dots Fountain Valley

Dippin' Dots in the infield ! Great place for the kiddos!

Steven Valdez

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. ;-)

Sherri Muro

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!

Autumn Maggard

Don't feel bad for the horses! They love to run... It's what they are bred to do! Love this sport !
