The Iroquois race course was inspected on May 1, 2017 by David Green, Ed Maywald and Jim Woods. Turf: The turf grasses on the race courses have an underlying Bermuda grass base that is inter-seeded each fall with a turf type fescue and premier quality perennial rye grasses. The courses' height of cut will be between five to six inches. Smoothness: The courses are very smooth. Each year, following the running of the Iroquois, all courses are core aerated multiple times, the soil cores are then dragged back into the track surface and Cambridge rolled. During the fall season, the race courses are aerified multiple times prior to the fall inter-seeding. In the early spring the courses receive a third core aeration and rolling. The track surface has a good feel underfoot. Compaction: The penetrometer readings today were between 70 and 80 (Yielding) and the same expected on race day. The Going Stick reading this morning: Good to Soft. Moisture: Reading today with the TDR-300 moisture meter is within the desired range and with normal rain and the irrigation system same expected on race day. Notes: The year-round turf grass maintenance program along with our irrigation system has given us the tools to produce a quality track surface for a safest of running surfaces on race day.
