With a daily post time of 6:30 p.m., a total of 13-races have been carded for Hoosier Park’s opening night and will be highlighted by full fields and quality racing.

Hoosier Park will welcome fans back to the track with Fan Days – a series of promotions, contests, food specials, and giveaways. Hoosier Park’s ‘Family Fun Days’ return this Saturday and will continue each weekend throughout the entirety of the harness racing meet. Activities will include face painting, live entertainment, games and winner’s circle giveaways.

All of Hoosier Park’s familiar betting options are back for 2018, including the Hoosier High-5 with an industry low takeout of 12% and a minimum wager of 20 cents. The Hoosier High-5, which requires a bettor to select the first five finishers in a race in exact order, will be offered on the last race each night, provided there are at least seven entrants. If there are no winning tickets sold, the net money wagered that day will be carried over to the next day’s Hoosier High-5 pool.

In partnership with the Unites States Trotting Association Strategic Wagering program and the Indiana Standardbred Association, Hoosier Park will also feature a $20,000 Guaranteed Trifecta in race 10 on Wednesday nights and a $10,000 Guaranteed Pick-4 pool on Thursday nights in races 3-6.
