Indiana Commission Approves 127 Race Dates At Indiana Grand In 2022

The Indiana Horse Racing Commission (IHRC) met Tuesday, Oct. 19 and approved a request for dates for the 2022 racing season at Indiana Grand Racing & Casino. The 127-day racing season will begin April 19 and end November 23, 2022. The schedule marks the most racing dates in one season for Indiana Grand Racing & Casino Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing.

“We are constantly looking at the landscape of racing to determine what works best for our horsemen and our racing product,” said Eric Halstrom, Vice President and General Manager of Racing. “We feel we have become a national presence during the early part of the week, so we want to keep that intact, but we also want to provide weekend opportunities for our on-track racing guests. We think our 2022 racing dates will accommodate both our simulcasting patrons and horsemen as well as our on-track racing fans with a few more weekend racing opportunities next season.”

The bulk of the racing season will be contested Monday through Thursday. First post Monday through Wednesday will be 2:30 p.m. while racing on Thursdays will begin at 3:30 p.m.

Of the 127 days, seven will be Saturday cards dedicated to Quarter Horse racing with a start time of 10 a.m. Included in the Quarter Horse days will be the AQHA Bank of America Challenge Championships set for Saturday, Oct. 22 with a first post of 6 p.m. EST.

Indiana Grand will offer five Saturdays of Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing. Live racing will be conducted Saturday, May 7 during Kentucky Derby Day with a post time yet to be determined. Three summer dates are included with racing set on Saturday, June 11, July 9 and August 6. Post times for each of these cards will be 5 p.m. The final weekend racing program is set for Saturday, Oct. 29 featuring Indiana Champions Day with nine stakes included on the card for both Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing. The event will begin at 12 p.m.

Finally, special holiday racing programs will be held Monday, May 30 and Monday, July 4 beginning at 12 p.m. Also, Thursday racing in November will move to 2:30 p.m. due to shorter daytime hours in Indiana.

The 19th season of Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing is now in progress and continues through Thursday, Nov. 11. Live racing is conducted at 2:25 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 11. First post all other Thursdays leading up to the end of the meet begin at 3:25 p.m. A special Indiana Champions Day highlighting the state's top Thoroughbred and Quarter Horses will be held Saturday, Oct. 30, beginning at noon.

Bucchero Filly Tops Indiana Mixed Sale

An Indiana-bred filly from the first crop of the Florida-based MGSW Bucchero (Kantharos) was hammered down for $48,000 to Roger Speiss, Randy Klopp and Liz McCready Klopp to top the Indiana Thoroughbred Owner's and Breeder's Association's 2021 Fall Mixed Sale held Oct. 16 at Indiana Grand in Shelbyville, IN. The price is believed to be a record for a yearling at the sale.

Cataloged as hip 40, the April foal–already named Honey Red–is the fourth from Spousal Privilege (Successful Appeal), who has already produced the Indiana-bred stakes-winning duo of Black Nova (Holiday Promise) and Maters N Taters (Santiva). She is also responsible for seven-time winner Rooster (City Weekend), victorious in the ITOBA Stallion Season S., a non black-type race. Hip 40, bred by Crystal Chapple DVM and Michael Phelps, was consigned to the ITOBA sale by the duo's Stone Cut Farm and carries the same Kantharos/Valid Appeal cross as dual-surface Grade I winner World of Trouble.

Including Saturday's results, Bucchero, who stands at Pleasant Acres Stallions in Morriston, has had 12 yearlings sell from 15 through the ring this year for an average of $32,417, better than six times his introductory stud fee of $5,000. A first-crop filly out of the stakes-winning Sliver of Hope (Value Plus), also bred in Indiana, was sold to Albert Davis for $75,000 during the select session of the OBS October Yearling Sale in Ocala Oct. 12.
