The Iroquois race course was inspected by David Green and Ed Maywald on April 22, Turf: The turf grasses on the race courses have an underlying Bermuda grass base that is overseeded each fall with a turf type fescue and perennial rye grasses. The few small thin areas on the backside straightaway should fill by race day. The course height will be between 5 to 6 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 again and sand top dressed. In the early spring the courses receive a third core aeration and rolling. The track surface has a good feel underfoot.
