SAN DIEGO, April 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Horse racing fans and sports lovers are invited to eat, drink, and place their bets during the upcoming Triple Crown racing season, beginning with world-famous Kentucky Derby®, at Striders, San Diego's luxury sports lounge and the only place in downtown where customers can bet on the races.
Last year, over 16 million people watched the Kentucky Derby® live on television and fans of horse racing bet over $137 million on the famous race. This year, the Kentucky Derby® action will be at Striders, where guests who reserve their table in advance will receive a complimentary glass of champagne and a racing tip sheet, and will be entered into a raffle with prizes that include $500 in gift certificates.
Adjacent to San Diego's historic Gaslamp Quarter, Striders offers tasty food, craft beer, and cocktails in a chic turf club inspired setting that invites guests to celebrate the spirit of the Del Mar racing season, as well as other worldwide sporting and entertainment events, all year long.

"Most uniquely, Striders is the only place downtown where guests can bet on horse racing, so you can now sip on a Mint Julep, enjoy tasty food and place your bets on the Kentucky Derby® right here in downtown San Diego at Striders."
The first floor of Striders' 8,200 square foot multi-level space includes a signature horseshoe cocktail bar, a casual dining room, an open kitchen with chef's tables, and two outdoor patios. The 360 degree, Las Vegas-style Winner's Circle Bar is the focal point of the second floor "Turf Clublounge" where guests can relax, dine, and wager on horse racing in premium booth seating. Two panoramic balconies boast spectacular views of the San Diego Convention Center and the downtown area and are available for reservation for groups and private parties, as is the entire venue.
As we enter the Triple Crown racing season – beginning the first weekend in May with the Kentucky Derby®, followed by the Preakness Stakes®, and then the Belmont Stakes® in early June – the world of racing really heats up, leading into the opening day at Del Mar in July. Striders is the perfect place to enjoy the most comfortable and luxurious environment for race betting in Southern California.
