For the first time in more than 10 years, Harrah’s Hoosier Park Racing & Casino will add Sundays to the racing calendar beginning this Sunday (May 23).

Harrah’s Hoosier Park will host live racing Wednesday through Sunday with a 6:30 p.m. first post through Sep. 24 before dropping back down to a Wednesday through Saturday schedule through Dec. 4.

In addition to Wednesday through Friday, Sunday cards will also feature a $10,000 guaranteed pool in the Hoosier High Five wager, which features a low 12 per cent takeout and a 20-cent minimum.

Sundays will also introduce a new racing promotion for on-track customers with the Super Ticket Sunday promotion. Guests wagering on any live Harrah’s Hoosier Park race while using a Caesars Rewards card will have a chance to instantly win select prizes up to a $250 race voucher. The Super Ticket Sunday promotion will run every Sunday of live racing at Harrah’s Hoosier Park during the 2021 season. The Homestretch Clubhouse will be open for dining on Sundays during live racing, along with the family favourite eatery Dog N Suds’ located on the lower level of the grandstand.

“We are excited to add Sundays to our racing lineup. We believe that the simulcast world will find that Harrah’s Hoosier Park will be a great addition to the Sunday night action,” said Rick Moore, Harrah’s Hoosier Park vice president and general manager of racing. “And, as far as on-track is concerned, we feel that early Sunday evenings will provide families with the opportunity to wind down their weekend activities with an enjoyable night of great harness racing.”

Sunday racing is one of a variety of changes made to the schedule at Harrah’s Hoosier Park for 2021. Hoosier Park’s 2021 season of live harness racing will extend into December for the first time, with live racing being conducted through Dec. 4.
