More than 1.2 million fans attended Santa Anita Park in 2014 and bet more than $1.5 billion. And that was just for racing events. Another 218,000 attended 180 non-racing events at the iconic track, 40% of which are focused on food and beverages. And that doesn’t include the 23 movies, TV shows, and commercials that filmed at the venue.
