The Racing Officials Accreditation Program and Maryland Jockey Club will team up to host a ROAP Certificate Course at Laurel Park Mar. 21-22. The course consists of general racing industry education and job-specific modules for each specific racing official position. Each participant will focus on clerk of scales, horse identifier, paddock judge, patrol judge, outrider, and starter/assistant starter. The course is open to the public and is geared toward those who want to become a racing official or who are interested in learning more about racing officials in general. Current officials are also encouraged to attend.
Registration is required by Mar. 14. The cost for the two-day course is $75 and includes lunch for one day. Click here to register and contact Erin Doty-McQuaid via email here or by phone at (859) 224-2702 for more details.
