Harrah's Hoosier Park Racing & Casino, in conjunction with the Hambletonian Society, has announced the addition of several guaranteed wagers and multi-leg wagers for the 37th edition of the Breeders Crown, harness racing’s annual series of 12 championship races, which will be held on October 30 and 31, at Harrah's Hoosier Park Racing & Casino.

First post for both nights will be at 6:00 p.m. (EDT).

The two-year-old Breeders Crown finals will highlight the 15-race card on Friday evening, while the sophomore and open competitors will take centre stage on Saturday evening. The first Breeders Crown race will be Race 8 each evening and will have an estimated post time of 8:24 p.m.

In addition to the regular pick-4 sequence in races 3-6, two pick-4 sequences have been added to both Friday and Saturday’s cards. A $20,000 Guaranteed Pick-4 will be featured in races 7-10 with a $40,000 Guaranteed Pick-4 in Races 12-15. Harrah’s Hoosier Park will also guarantee their signature wager, the Hoosier High-5, at $20,000 each night and will be featured in Race 15 with a 12 per cent reduced takeout.

A special all-stakes pick-8 has been added to the wagering menu for Saturday’s card and will begin with the first Breeders Crown race (Race 8). The pick-8 will be guaranteed at $10,000.

“Our racing fans will notice a number of additional wagering pools when they begin handicapping our Friday and Saturday Breeders Crown racing cards,” said Harrah’s Hoosier Park VP and GM of Racing Rick Moore. “We believe these pools will be well received and will provide value and liquidity for those participating and fortunate enough to select the winning combinations.
