Bidirectional by design
Read every reading, prediction, and recommendation out. Write irrigation events, maintenance activity, and third-party observations back in.
Track footing & turf courses
Consistent footing, measured — not felt.
Racetracks, training centers, and equine facilities live or die by surface consistency. GroundWorx reads moisture, temperature, and salinity beneath dirt and synthetic footing, turf courses, and arenas every ten minutes, and GAIN turns those readings into watering and maintenance recommendations so track superintendents can document conditions and water to what the surface actually needs.

Potential annual recovery for 20 track & turf acres
GAIN combines root-zone moisture, salinity, temperature, and weather context to predict irrigation need and reduce unnecessary watering.

Planning assumption: Planning estimate: dirt/synthetic track footing watered for cushion and dust control plus turf-course irrigation at ~37 in/yr equivalent ≈ 1M gal per acre of racing and training surface. These are illustrative facility benchmarks, not verified worldwide industry totals. The ticker spreads annual use evenly across 365 days and applies a 25% potential reduction. It is not measured live water waste, water already saved, or a guarantee. Actual needs and savings vary by climate, season, soil, and irrigation practice.

Estimate only, not a quote or guarantee. Basis: Planning estimate: dirt/synthetic track footing watered for cushion and dust control plus turf-course irrigation at ~37 in/yr equivalent ≈ 1M gal per acre of racing and training surface. Savings use a 25% reduction benchmark; annual utility savings use the selected modeled US regional water rate (West: $7.50 per 1,000 gallons), not a local utility quote. Map zones are schematic, not state-level service boundaries. Sources: GCSAA, USDA/USGS, and university extension irrigation benchmarks for water use. Actual results depend on climate, soil, water source, local utility rates, and current practices.
Get a customized sensor planWhat you are up against
- Footing moisture swings between morning training and the afternoon card, and inconsistency raises safety concerns for horses and riders.
- Dirt tracks are watered heavily for dust and cushion control, often by habit and water-truck schedule rather than measurement.
- Turf courses must recover between race days while holding a defensible going rating.
- Regulators, owners, and jockeys increasingly expect a documented surface record.
What changes
- Footing consistency
- Track cushion and base moisture around the oval so water-truck passes target the sections that actually need them.
- Turf going
- Root-zone moisture and temperature on the turf course support going decisions and recovery planning between race days.
- Documentation
- A continuous, timestamped surface record for safety reviews and stewards' questions.
- Water use
- Water to measured need rather than habit across track, turf course, arenas, and paddocks.
Typical deployment
What goes in the ground
- GX-1S sensors buried below dirt or synthetic footing and turf courses — standalone, below the surface, nothing for horses or harrows to hit
- GX-1A sensors for paddocks, infields, and common turf areas
- AI weather intelligence for track-specific ET, rainfall, and forecasts
- GAIN surface dashboard and alerting for track and turf superintendents
Open API
No walled gardens. Your data goes wherever you need it.
GAIN is built as an open, bidirectional platform. Root-zone telemetry streams out to any system you run, and context streams back in — irrigation run times, agronomic events, imagery, weather — so every prediction is made with the full picture. You own your data, and you can move it.
Integrates at will
REST endpoints, webhooks, scoped API keys, and scheduled exports. If a platform speaks HTTP, GroundWorx can speak to it.
Your data, portable
Raw and derived telemetry are exportable at any time, in open formats, to your own warehouse. No lock-in, no gatekeeping, no export fee.
