IRC approves Eldorado acquisition of Hoosier Park with conditions

Columbus, OH — In Tuesday’s (July 14) Paulick Report, Natalie Voss reported that the Indiana Horse Racing Commission unanimously approved the transfer of permits and licenses for Hoosier Park and Indiana Grand from Caesars Entertainment to Eldorado Resorts Inc. at a Monday morning meeting — but that approval came with a number of conditions.

A report from commission staff last week highlighted a series of concerns about Eldorado’s past management of racetracks it has owned, including Pompano Park, Scioto Downs, Presque Isle Downs, and Mountaineer Park.

Ultimately, the commission’s approval included a list of conditions, including all 22 requirements suggested by commission staff.

In her report last week, IRC Executive Director Deena Pitman had outlined a 22-item list of requirements she advised the commission require of Eldorado before approving the sale. To read her report, click here.
