Downtown San Diego Caliente Sign
I see this sign every morning when I walk from the coaster station to work. This sign is at 6th and C. I tried a few Google searches but I can’t find any info about it. It reads “Racing every Saturday & Sunday. Caliente in Old Mexico. Home of the fabulous 5-10. Betting Daily on Major U.S. Horse Tracks.”

Its actually for the Calienet racetrack in TJ, its owned by Jorge Hank Rohn, my Uncle works for him and apparently he has albino rhinos, tigers and elephants…no joke.

This is a sign from the old Agua Caliente racetrack owned by Jhonny Alessio until it was burned by a big fire on August 5, 1971. This is something like a memorial to the old racetrack. Since 1992 there are no more horce races on Caliente thanks to Chilango owner Jorge Hank Rhon not a native of Tijuana! He closed the racetrack and now there are houses, schools, a bad casino, everything but a recetrack!!! This SOB Hank has created a lot of damage to Tijuana Tourism since he took care of the racetrack in the early 80′!!! There are a LOT of people that don’t like him and his family and chilango friends!!!
