Rick Hammerle has become Oaklawn's Racing Coordinator for the 2020 live racing season. He most recently served as Vice President of Racing and Racing Secretary at Santa Anita Park and also worked at Golden Gate, Gulfstream Park, Monmouth Park and Meadowlands before he returned to his home state of California in 2000. In addition, he has been Racing Secretary for a record seven Breeders' Cups and was a member of the graded stakes committee as well as the Breeders' Cup selection committee.
“We are very excited to have Rick join the racing department team,” Oaklawn Vice President of Racing Jed Doro said. “His experience and connections are going to be invaluable as we continue to grow our racing program. We have a lot great things happening at Oaklawn right now and we're glad Rick is going to be part of it. We're in the process of building six new barns, we're anticipating record purses for the 12th straight year and we'll soon be releasing an exciting 2020 stakes schedule.”
