Yes, that´s right, horse races right here in Baja!

Miss the action of fast-running muscular beauties crossing the finish line to the cheers and sneers of the betting crowd? Miss it no more. Although not slick and not as comfortable as the famous tracks and box seats in the US, the competitive thrill of these smaller venues here in Baja still get your blood rushing and the crowd excited.
¨Taste¨ - the common name of the horse races or Carreras de Caballos, in Spanish, are held all over the La Paz and Los Cabos counties, put on by the Ejidos of the area. The venues are mainly a four or five horse start, and run straight courses. Cover at most tracks is $100 pesos per person, with parking onsite. Kids welcome. Betting, is up to you!

With the advent of the recent US State Department announcements (blanket statements regarding all of Mexico), I checked through the local grapevine, the Los Cabos Tomatoes, for anyone who may have driven the nearly 1000 mile trek from Cabo San Lucas to the San Diego border in recent months; asking for their experiences and opinions.
