The horse racing is just a small piece of what Oaklawn has to offer, though.
The race track has been there since 1904, and to this day they still host Thoroughbred horse racing every December to May. Nestled in the quaint town of Hot Springs National Park, Oaklawn has some extremely deeply rooted history. To me, weekend road trips are the best kind of getaway, so when Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort invited me to come stay, I jumped at the opportunity. The kind where you can pack a small bag, get in the car, and be at your destination in just a few quick hours.
