UALR Alumni Association’s Oaklawn Day at the Races will take place on Saturday, March 27  from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Oaklawn Race Track in Hot Springs. The bus will depart from UALR Lot 13. Tickets are $40 for Alumni Members and $60 for non-members. Price includes transportation, general admission, all day seating at the Jockey Club and chef’s buffet. 

Originally planned for April 3rd, this Oaklawn weekend has been moved forward because of the five-million dollar running of the Apple Blossom Stakes featuring Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta. Because of the grandiose nature of the April 3rd race, the Jockey Club will be reserved for club members and owners of the thoroughbreds. As a nature of goodwill,  Oaklawn is offering special drink pricing to the Alumni group. For more information, please call 683-7208 or email Christian O’Neal at cxoneal@ualr.edu
