Santa Anita Park
Home of the legendary Seabiscuit, the art deco thoroughbred racetrack is the oldest and one of the most prestigious in Southern California. Free tram tours taking you to Seabiscuit’s barn, filming locations, the jockey’s room and other sites are offered during racing seasons. The track opened in 1934 and pioneered the use of the automated starting gate, the photo finish and the electrical timer. Stars who kept and raced their horses here have ranged from Bing Crosby and Errol Flynn to Mark McGrath (of Sugar Ray), Alex Trebek and Burt Bacharach. The only stain on its legacy happened during WWII when it served as a Japanese-American detention camp.

Rose Bowl Stadium
One of LA's most venerable landmarks, the 1922 Rose Bowl Stadiumcan seat up to 93,000 spectators and has its moment in the sun every New Year's Day when it hosts the famous Rose Bowl postseason college football game. At other times, it's sadly underused even though the UCLA Bruins football team play here and the occasional concert or special event also brings in the masses, as does a monthly flea market. In 2006, American Idolheld its Los Angeles auditions here.
