What does it take to keep a racetrack race-ready?

In this episode of OnBoard with Amplify, we go behind the scenes at Keeneland with Track Superintendent Alfredo Laureano to learn about managing horse racing surfaces. From dirt to turf to synthetic, every surface requires careful maintenance to maintain optimal training and racing conditions for horses and riders. Join us as we: Ride along in tractors and water trucks. Learn how Alfredo and his team use data and technology to monitor moisture, surface depth, and track safety. Explore the science behind racetrack construction, from the cushion and hardpan to the crown. Step onto the turf course to see specialized equipment, such as a deep-tine aerator. Interested in working in track maintenance? Great news! Many jobs in this field don't require prior experience. You'll get on-the-job training to help you learn and succeed.
