Anderson, IN — Harrah’s Hoosier Park Racing & Casino has announced a change in first post on Saturdays from 6:15 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. beginning on Saturday (April 8). Post time will remain at 6:15 p.m. on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.

“With many of the Saturday afternoon tracks now racing later into the evening on the busiest day of the simulcast week, we, the Indiana Standardbred Association and Harrah’s Hoosier Park, thought it would be a good business decision to start racing a little later on Saturday and avoid some of the early evening “traffic,” said Rick Moore, Harrah’s Hoosier Park vice president and general manager of racing. “We are excited to make this change as we launch this momentous season.”

Harrah’s Hoosier Park will continue to follow a four-day a week live racing schedule before adding Tuesdays to the live racing calendar beginning on June 27. The Tuesday through Saturday schedule will continue through October. In November and December, Harrah’s Hoosier Park will move to racing three days a week with racing on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. The live racing season will conclude for the season on December 9.

Harrah’s Hoosier Park kicked off the 30th season of live racing on Friday, March 24 and is set to host the richest open stakes schedule ever throughout the 2023 live racing season. Worth over a combined $12 million, the 160-day season will be the most lucrative stakes program in the track’s history culminated by hosting the 40th edition of the Breeders Crown events in October. Harrah’s Hoosier Park’s premier pacing event, the $300,000 Dan Patch Stakes, is slated for Friday, August 11 and the coveted Breeders Crown events will take place on Friday, October 27 and Saturday, October 28.
