The 2017 stakes schedule for Thoroughbred racing at Indiana Grand Racing & Casino has been announced.

A total of 35 stakes will be offered during the 120-day racing season that spans Apr. 18 through Oct. 28. Heading the list of Thoroughbred stakes is the 23rd running of the $500,000 GIII Indiana Derby, slated for Saturday, July 15. Indiana's richest horse race will be surrounded by five other stakes races on the card, including the GIII Indiana Oaks, providing purses for the evening card of more than $1.1 million.

“Offering a strong stakes schedule to complement our racing program is very important to us,” said Jon Schuster, vice president and general manager of racing. “We work very hard each year to ensure our stakes have the best possible fit on horsemen's schedules as they begin mapping out a plan for their horses.”
