Purse Increase for Indiana Grand

Indiana Grand | Coady

Indiana Grand Racing & Casino has announced purse increases for both Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing, effective Tuesday, July 6. The increase will add 10% onto all Thoroughbred overnights and roughly $1,000 to each Quarter Horse overnight and trials, which reflects approximately a 6% increase for the sprinters.

“We have had a great season so far in 2021 and we are pleased to announce this purse increase across the board for our horsemen,” said Eric Halstrom, vice president and general manager of racing. “This boost is a direct result of elevated business levels that continue to be strong this year. We appreciate the support from our racing fans, and we are working hard to continue offering a solid, competitive program for both Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing.”

The purse increase will go into effect two days before Indiana Grand's biggest race of the season, the 27th running of the GIII Indiana Derby set for Wednesday, July 7. Stakes purses will remain at their current levels and will not be affected by the purse increase.
