(See guidelines in Condition Book). The Iroquois race course was inspected on April 27, 2018 by David Green and Jimmy Wood. Turf: The race course has an underlying Bermuda grass base that is inter-seeded each fall with a turf type fescue second premier perennial rye grass. Smoothness: The courses are very smooth. Courses are core aerated multiple times and the soil cores are then dragged back into the track surface for smoothness. Compaction: 7-8 (Yielding) Lang Penetrometer readings are even throughout. The track surface has a good feel underneath. Moisture: 5-6 (Average) readings with the Lincoln Soil Moisture Meter are within the desired range. With normal weather, rain and irrigation system, the same is expected on race day. Notes: The Iroquois Steeplechase race courses are on a year-round turf grass maintenance program. The irrigation system gives us the ability to better produce a quality track surface for a safe running surface on race day.
