 Uniontrib 20070719 Images Open280It was opening day where the turf meets the surf in old Del Mar yesterday, and hordes of Carlsbadistanians skipped work to be down on the rail dressed up and betting. The San Diego Union-Tribune caught two of them dressed up as a horse and his trainer.

Carlsbad residents Jim Meade (left) and Larry Irwin skipped the hats and instead donned masks to portray a trainer and his horse yesterday at the opening day of racing season at Del Mar. The two stayed in character much of the day, with Meade often leading Irwin around.”
