Sponsored by Reflejos and Telemundo, the festivities included appearances and autographs from Telemundo stars, jockey autograph signings, food specials and performances by Trio Guadalajara and Ballet Internacional Fenix.
"It's really to support the culture and to bring everyone here to celebrate," said Andrea Novak, a digital marketing employee at the racecourse.
