The agenda has been finalized for the 20th edition of Track Superintendent Field Day on June 12-14 at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida. It is the largest and longest-tenured gathering for track supers and related staff to discuss best practices related to track maintenance, safety and operational issues for racing and training facilities.
A variety of educational panels and speakers have been assembled of interest to all racing breeds, including Thoroughbreds, American Quarter Horses and Standardbreds.
This year's topics include turf irrigation and maintenance and record-keeping related to the new Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA). Panels will be presented including participants from numerous segments of the industry, including veterinarians, owners/trainers, jockeys and of course, track supers.
“We've brought together many experts to share their knowledge and wisdom at this year's meeting,” said Roy Smith, who started Track Supers Field Day in 2002 at Philadelphia Park (now Parx Racing) and currently is track superintendent at Horseshoe Indianapolis. “This is the best opportunity for track supers to get together to discuss our shared goal to make our sport as safe as possible for both horses and humans.”
Thanks to the support of sponsors, including title sponsor Equine Equipment, Track Supers Field Day is free to attend for any track superintendents and support staff. Attendees are only responsible for travel expenses, and a discounted hotel rate is available. Registration is open now, and attendees are asked to register as soon as possible to allow for an accurate attendance count.
“We know budgets are always tight, so we have worked hard to keep this as a free event and offer a reduced hotel rate,” said Steve Andersen, founder of Equine Equipment. “This event will more than pay for itself with the knowledge and networking that track supers and their staffs will go back with to their home tracks.”
To register, call 877-905-0004 or email tracksupers@gmail.com.
