A total of 46 stakes races will be conducted with purse money topping $5.24 million, during what will be the 23rd season at Horseshoe Indianapolis Racing & Casino which opens Apr. 15, according to a press release from the track on Thursday afternoon.
“Having a strong premier racing schedule highlighted by our two Graded Stakes, the Indiana Derby and the Indiana Oaks, is a great way to showcase our racing program,” said Vice President and General Manager of Racing Eric Halstrom. “We are excited to extend those events in 2025 with the addition of a few new handicaps featuring some people that are very important to our state's racing history.”
The impending racing season will once again be highlighted by Indiana Derby Day Saturday, July 5. The card features eight races with purses of more than $1.1 million, and includes the GIII Indiana Derby and GIII Indiana Oaks.
