Meet David Barrow, Our Team Member of the Month!




Normally working well behind the scenes, David Barrow can be seen out with other frontline team members, usually when behind a video camera. By working behind cameras and microphones and at the controls of his editing suite inside the Remington Park Television Control room, David is always attempting to make the other frontline team members and Remington Park in general, look their best.

He is constantly called upon by many in management/marketing to come up with a video piece for promotion or presentation, and many times the calls for his talents do not come with much advance notice. Despite these ‘on-demand’ challenges, David perseveres with a positive attitude to get the assignment done as quickly, efficiently and professionally as possible in order to make the needed deadline.

Beginning his Remington Park career as a tower camera operator, David’s artistic talents with graphics and animation brought him inside the control room to continue working with the television production and marketing teams. Recently graduating from an extensive and long course in animation, David’s enthusiasm for the medium has been displayed in his work for some time and is often used to accentuate a production package. His education continues as the advent of the 50-foot Super Screen video board brought with it the need to work in high-definition, both shooting and editing. We will all see the results of that work coming up in the Thoroughbred Season later this year.

Meet Estell Laster, Our Team Member of the Month!



Estell Laster was born in Enid, Oklahoma. He began his career where his Father owned a café. Later in life Estell moved to Kansas City and from there, also worked in several restaurants in Chicago. A few years ago, he chose to move back to Oklahoma and eventually came to RP during 2008 to work in Remi's. Estell has been a star player on the F&B/Culinary Team ever since.

Last year, Estell suffered a serious injury and we had to work without him for several months. His absence was sorely felt! We had several regular customers inquire about his well being on a regular basis. Our guests were very happy to see him return, as was all of the Culinary Team.

His dedication was proven when he recently helped get us through the snow storm by staying over 3 nights at Remington Park to ensure culinary operations were maintained, as travel was greatly impaired, if not impossible.

Estell has a passion for fishing and also raises livestock.

Congratulations to Estell Laster, you are truly part of the show!
