PUBLISHER’S LETTER

Where the Turf meets the Surf Dear Readers, With the racing season upon us and summer holidays in full bloom, we celebrate with you the lifestyle and luxury that is Southern California in July. The season often extends family vacations of trotting the globe and exploring the natural wonders of the world that surround us; which of course, makes for a welcomed home coming. Seaside racing – 72 years in the making – promises big bets and unforgettable ponies; jump ahead to page 40 to see why it’s a personal favorite. We invite you to join us in Del Mar on July 20 for Opening Day at the racetracks – an event marked not only for its fashion and hats, but as a “bucket-list” kind-of experience not to be missed. In fact, our entire July issue is inspired by the races, centered on the “Turf and Surf” theme. Join us this month as we sample Del Mar dining and design, summer fashions and trends, as well as a Hawaiian getaway to the north shore. It’s no wonder why San Diego continues to rank among the world’s leading summertime destinations. New this month, download your own copy of Fine Magazine on your iPad! Easy and free, take Fine out and about with a simple touch of the screen!

Enjoy! John Winfield Publisher, FINE Magazine

The Spirit of Del Mar Racing

osting seven weeks of seaside racing each summer, the ambiance and spirit of Del Mar is unlike any

other. Since 1937, the track has welcomed more than 39 million visitors, handling more than $13 billion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an impressive milestone, to say the least. In honor of D el Marâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand tradition and 72nd season of racing, we celebrate this great achievement and milestone, of fering 72 reasons on why we love Del Mar R acing. We admit that the experience itself goes far beyond a mere list of accolades and attributes, but we hope you will agree that summer racing in D el Mar is simply unfor gettable.

Authentically

Hawai’i Taking up residence along the North Shore – settled between the bounty

of Hanalei Bay and Kauai’s rugged coastal slopes, the St. Regis Princeville Resort celebrates the natural beauty and luxury of an island getaway.

By Rosalie Cushman Photography courtesy of The St. Regis Princeville Resort

lending the hues of earth and air, the St. Regis Princeville is simply incomparable. Situated on Kauai’s North Shore, the

252-room, 51-suite property is greater than the sum of its parts. In combination with the 2009 refurbished

brand’s

sophistication

and the Hanalei Bay’s breathtaking locale, the two icons are fused into one, creating a luxury resort unlike any other. W ith a 300 foot promontory, the towering clif fs of “Bali Hai” – also known as Mt. Makana, and the celebrated expanse of a Pacific sunset, the visual display is “life-changing,” to say the least. 58

Del mar

Dining by the Sea Having retained much of its village charm and lure, Del Mar hosts a varied menu of fine dining establishments – taking advantage not only of a much lauded locale along the coast, but a climate enjoyed throughout the seasons. Beyond the many accolades and reviews, the attraction – whatever it may offer – is simply irresistible, to say the least.
