Agenda Set for Track Superintendents Field Day at Oaklawn

The agenda is set and the excitement is building for the 17th annual Track Superintendents Field Day at historic Oaklawn Park.

The event is open to all track superintendents and staff.

Attending superintendents will also be eligible to win great prizes like the use of an Exmark Zero-Turn Mower and a John Deere Gator.

Sponsors pay for the event to be conducted; attendees only need to cover lodging and travel expense.

The superintendents are an independent group which meets annually to discuss best practices related to maintenance, safety and operational issues for racing and training facilities worldwide.

“We look forward to welcoming all participants to Oaklawn for some southern hospitality. We are honored to host the event and know it is a worthy investment attending” added Plant Superintendent John Hopkins.
