MJC INVESTING IN TURF COURSES

Chris Bosley, who has been the dirt track superintendent for the Maryland Jockey Club since spring of 2018, has added oversight of the turf courses at Laurel Park and Pimlico Race Course to his duties. 

Bosley on Jan. 15 said he has been working closely with consultant Sean Gault, former Director of Thoroughbred Surfaces at Woodbine in Toronto, who is now semi-retired, to design a plan to improve the Laurel turf course.  

“We’re currently designing a plan to attack the turf course,” Bosley said. “Everyone knows we have had an ongoing drainage issue. We’re approaching this from every angle possible. It’s going to take a while for us to get where we want to be but we’ll do everything in our power to get there. MJC is providing the crew, equipment and the resources to get it done.”
