Tickets are now on sale for the annual Crescenta Valley Day at the Races on March 20 at Santa Anita Race Track. Tickets are $25 for adult, $15 for kids 17 and under.

The Crescenta Valley Sheriff Support Group, the Crescenta Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Montrose Verdugo City Chamber of Commerce have teamed up again for the annual Crescenta Valley Day at the Races. The event will take place at the Santa Anita Race Track on Sunday, March 20.

The cost to participate 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 also enjoy nine exciting Thoroughbred races, parking, an official race program, barbecue lunch, soft drinks and expert handicapping advice from Rick Dinger.

As in the past, the barbecue lunch will be donated by Schreiner’s Fine Sausages in Montrose. 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’s Support Group and both local chambers.

Dinger, “expert horse picker” and event organizer, said, “This is really fun way to spend the day with friends from the Crescenta Valley.”
