The Indiana Horse Racing Commission (IHRC) approved 123 days of live racing for the 2025 season at Horseshoe Indianapolis during its regular meeting at the track Thursday, Oct. 24. Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing will mirror the 2024 schedule. There will be six dates dedicated to Quarter Horses exclusively.
Racing will begin Tuesday, Apr. 15 and run through Thursday, Nov. 13, 2025, with first post set for 2:10 p.m. ET Monday through Thursday. The track’s marquee events–the GIII Indiana Derby and GIII Indiana Oaks–are scheduled for Saturday, July 5, with a special 12 p.m. start time and the sixth annual Indiana Champions Day will also kick off at the noon hour on Saturday, Oct. 25. Live programs on Memorial Day Monday, May 26 and on Independence Day on July 4 begin at 12 p.m and the track will also conduct live racing on Kentucky Derby day May 3 and Belmont Stakes day June 7. Both of the latter cards begin at 10:45 a.m.
“Our racing program has grown over the past few years, and we feel we have a good schedule in place, so we didn’t want to make too many changes,” said Eric Halstrom, Vice President and General Manager of Racing. “We worked closely with the horsemen’s groups to review our current schedule before presenting it to IHRC. We feel this schedule maximizes our racing product to all types of racing fans. We will still offer seven Saturday racing programs in addition to six all-Quarter Horse racing days, providing some weekend racing opportunities for our local customers again in 2025.”
