Del Mar Racing Display Goes Horribly Wrong

[Denver Native (Carol)]

What started as a creative way to promote the return of horse racing to Del Mar turned in to a big headache for a local grocery store.

Vons on Del Mar Heights Road in Del Mar tried to set up a display of Coca-Cola products in the shape of a horse with a jockey on it. But, if you look at the photograph, it turned out to be more like the Denver Broncos logo.

A lot more like the Denver Broncos logo. So much so that Chargers fans got more than a little bit peeved and started calling the store to complain. Some even threatened a boycott. Look at the store display next to the Denver logo. You can see what made Bolts supporters so upset.

What's crazy is I've been in that grocery store more times than I can count. That story is hilarious!

That's funny stuff. Anyway as I've said numerous times Charger fans are twits.

Wow I was starting to get nervous there.

They've had a lot of trouble lately with the turf there and a lot of horses got hurt / put down last year. Some cancellations and a lot of confusion. They didn't really know what was going on.

Glad this wasn't about dead horses..,

I don't see how they thought that looked like a horse with a jockey on it. Were they drunk? Kind of reminds me of this...

I think whoever set it up was clearly a Broncos fan. Probably used that template on purpose.

To anyone who would call and complain about something like that: Get a life
