Pat Wood, who became involved in harness racing in 1995 when Hoosier Park was just one year old, has been presented with the 2008 Indiana Horse Racing Commission (IHRC) Chairman’s Award. IHRC Chairman Sarah McNaught made the presentation to Wood at the beginning of the monthly racing meeting in the Government Center in downtown Indianapolis on Thursday.
Wood, a longtime horse racing enthusiast, has been a member of Hoosier Park’s customer service team since 1999. A native of Indianapolis, Wood and her husband, Jerry, have been married for 25 years. They reside across from the 53rd street entrance to Hoosier Park and became involved in harness racing as owners during the second year of action in 1995. For the past nine years, racing fans that have entered Hoosier Park’s facility are greeted by Wood. She now serves on the new Club Centaur Guest Services team for both the casino and the racetrack. She also continues to provide support for promotions during live racing. “Pat is a great asset to our team,” said Jeff Smith, general manager of racing. “She offers our guests the best possible customer service through her bright smile and infectious enthusiasm for horse racing and for Hoosier Park.” Wood was recognized state-wide for her superb customer service in 2006. She was one of 21 recipients for the Lieutenant Governor’s Hoosier Hospitality Award, and was presented with the honor at the Statehouse by Lt. Governor Becky Skillman. In addition to her work at Hoosier Park, Wood serves as personal assistant to Dr. Donald Perez, an ophthalmologist in Anderson. Wood has worked for Perez for the past 30 years.(Hoosier Park)
