About Our Conditioners

Larcom & Mitchell’s Standardbred and Thoroughbred track conditioners are the original machines that set the standard for excellence throughout the horse racing industry. Our track conditioners incorporate a rigid, heavy duty steel frame that is built to last. Steel cross beams on the track conditioners add strength and contain specially hardened, carbide tipped teeth. The carbide tipped teeth are positioned on the beams for effective and complete working of the track surface.

Precise control of the working depth of the teeth is accomplished by an integrated roller assembly system.
The roller assembly provides compaction for the track surface. This combination enables the conditioner to work down high spots and provide a perfect surface. Larcom & Mitchell’s professional grade track equipment is used by leading NTRA and HTA race tracks worldwide. All conditioners are made with pride in the USA.
