Thanks to your cooperation, the Foxfield Spring 2006 Race was greatly improved!

We will be there again this year and encourage you to ... Enjoy the race - safely and legally.

A joint effort by multiple enforcement and emergency medical entities will again put a zero tolerance face at the Foxfield Spring Race this year. All violations of the law will result in enforcement action, which could come in the form of a summons or in certain cases, physical arrest.

Police will be observing patrons upon their arrival by chartered buses and in their personal vehicles. Patrons entering the race will be monitored for intoxication and legal age requirements, and those found to be violating the law while entering the event will not gain admittance. The zero tolerance policy for alcohol and other violations will also be in effect during the race.
