Classic cars, Classic Music and Classic Horse racing

Tomorrow, Sept. 21, is California Classics Day at Fairplex Park. Celebrate 70 years of horse racing with a day devoted to the stars of Fairplex Park. Four Stakes races for more seasoned horses highlight the day along with a Classic Car Show and Classic Rock to boot. The first 3,000 fans will receive a classic ringer T-shirt after 3 p.m. Redeem proof of admission coupon distributed at Laser Gate for a free tee.

I’m especially looking forward to the Classic Car Show. Twenty cars will be on display on the north side of the grandstands. It should be great. Thanks to all who are participating! See you at the horse races.
