The 83rd Annual Carolina Cup horse race is coming up, and we've got our portajons on the move!
Thompson Rental Services has been providing portajons to the Carolina Cup for the last 20 years!
"They like us, and we love them," says Glen Stein of Thompson Services.
This month we'll be taking 400 of our portajons to the Springdale Race Track in Camden, South Carolina; which is about 20 trips carrying 20 portajons at a time. The race will take place on Saturday, March 28, 2015, and by Sunday we'll be bringing 5-6 trucks back up to pump & take them back home.
The Springdale Race Course is situated just on the outskirts of Camden, and hosts two of the most important steeplechases on the yearly calendar – more than 60,000 people routinely show up and have a wonderful time at the races.
Camden is well known as a training center for racehorses from the Eastern part of the U.S., and throughout the world. Hall of Fame trainers have habitually sent their horses to Camden for a winter rest, or some rehab following an injury. It is also where young Thoroughbreds can begin their early training in a relaxed atmosphere away from the sometimes frenetic and more confined space of the racing facilities in major urban cities, such as New York and Miami. Many champion racehorses have called Camden home at some point during their careers, including the incomparable Ruffian.
