No Fan To Be Turned Away from General Admission

(Edited Oaklawn Park report)

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. -  No fan who has a desire to witness the best fillies and mares in the country face off in Oaklawn Park’s $5 million Grade 1 Apple Blossom Invitational on Friday, April 9 or leading Kentucky Derby contenders go head to head in the $1 million Grade 1 Arkansas Derby on Saturday, April 10 will be turned away.

“While we are sold out of advanced-sale reserved seats, we always retain several hundred seats to sell to walk-up customers on race day,” Oaklawn Park’s Director of Marketing Kim Baron said. “These will go on sale as soon as the admission gates open on a first-come, first-served basis. And, all of our free seating will be available for the $2 general admission on Apple Blossom and Arkansas Derby days just as it is every racing day.”

Oaklawn Park would recommend that race goers plan to arrive at the track early on April 9 and April 10 to help secure their spots.

Advance seats do remain for the other days of the Racing Festival of the South, including Oaklawn Handicap Day on Saturday, April 3. For more information, please call 501-623-4411 or visit www.oaklawn.com or www.appleblossominvitational.com.
