Two Racing Dates Added at Indiana Grand
The Indiana Horse Racing Commission has approved two additional 2020 racing dates for Indiana Grand at their regular monthly meeting Thursday, Oct. 1. The two dates will be included on the final week of racing, increasing the schedule to 92 days for Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse action and a total of 96 days overall, adding in four days dedicated to all-Quarter Horse racing.
The two additional dates added to the schedule will be Monday, Nov. 16 and Thursday, Nov. 19, which will become the new closing date for the 18th season of Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing at Indiana Grand.
“While the unprecedented COVID conditions have been difficult, our meet thus far has been a success by any measure,” said Eric Halstrom, vice president and general manager of racing at Indiana Grand. “With our total handle being up almost 60% over the same days in 2019, we’re thrilled to add two additional racing days and more opportunities for our horsemen near the end of the meet.”

Triple Crown News Minute Presented By Kentucky Equine Research: Betting Against Baffert?
The rescheduled Triple Crown season of 2020 draws to a close with Saturday's Grade 1 Preakness Stakes from Baltimore's Pimlico Race Course, and while it has been a year like no other, there is one factor that has brought some normalcy to the event: the presence of Hall of Famer and seven-time Preakness winner Bob Baffert.
Baffert is five-for-five in the Preakness with winners of the G1 Kentucky Derby and he brings morning-line favorite Authentic to Old Hilltop off his upset of Tiz the Law in the Sept. 5 Run for the Roses. For good measure, Baffert also will tighten the girth (or at least attempt to) on Thousand Words, the colt who was scratched from the Derby after flipping in the saddling paddock at Churchill Downs.
In this final edition of the 2020 Triple Crown News Minute, Ray Paulick and news editor Chelsea Hackbarth assess the current crop of 3-year-olds relative to the older horse division that they will soon be taking on at the Breeders' Cup world championships Nov. 7 at Keeneland. And, of course, they also make their selections for the Preakness Stakes and explain why they are going against the grain and not picking one of the Baffert runners.
