Today Del Ray is a charming, family oriented community but it used to be a gambling haven.

As neighborhood icon Pat Miller explains, the Del Ray of today is a charming, close-knit community, as welcoming to dogs as is it is to people. But it wasn’t always that way: 100 years ago, Del Ray was home to one of the largest horse race tracks in the region and was notorious for gambling and crime.
