The Crescenta Valley Sheriff Support Group, the Crescenta Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Montrose-Verdugo City Chamber of Commerce have teamed up for the 5th Annual Crescenta Valley Day at the Races. The event will take place at the Santa Anita Race Track on Sunday, March 17.

The cost to take part in the event is $25 for adults (18 and over) and $15 for attendees who are 17 years and under. Once again, the group has reserved the Top of the Stretch on the grandstand side which is a prime viewing area. Each attendee will enjoy nine exciting Thoroughbred races, parking, an official race program, barbecue lunch, soft drinks and expert handicapping advice from Rick Dinger.

The barbecue lunch will again be donated by Schreiner’s Fine Sausages.

There will also be a raffle and silent auction so everyone will have the opportunity to leave a winner. Proceeds from this event benefit the CV Sheriff Support Group and both local chambers.

“Expert” horse picker and event organizer Rick Dinger said, “This event continues to grow every year, and now that we have added the Montrose chamber, it will be bigger and better than ever before.”
