Reflections on a Meaningful and Rewarding Experience at Global Symposium on Racing

Attending the Global Symposium on Racing was one of the most meaningful and rewarding academic and professional experiences of my time in the University of Arizona’s Race Track Industry Program (RTIP). The Symposium brought together leading experts, regulators, industry professionals, and students from across the horse racing industry, providing a unique opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world application.

Six Fabulous Ideas for Your Visit to Hot Springs for the Oaklawn Park Meet

“Someone suggested that there's an incomplete part of our chromosomes that gets repaired or found when we hit New Orleans. Some of us just belong here.”

—actor John Goodman

While the Big Easy is uniquely grand (and boasts Fair Grounds), for many years I have felt this way about Hot Springs, Ark. I relax a bit when we exit I-30 and merge onto the wooded Highway 70, with Spa City 27 miles away. I fully exhale when my feet touch Central Avenue.
