“We have moved a couple stakes to the day before Indiana Derby for the first time this year to create more stakes racing opportunities for those coming in for the Indiana Derby program. “We have a great balance of stakes for younger horses, older horses, and events on the dirt and the turf,” said Chris Polzin, director of racing. The one-mile black-type event leads four stakes on the day and will be joined by the $150,000 Horseshoe Indianapolis Stakes for the fillies, also running at one mile. The turf stakes are led by the 18th running of the $150,000 Caesars Stakes set for Wednesday, May 17. The 2023 stakes schedule also includes 10 stakes slated for the turf course. It’s definitely a day to put on your calendars each July.” With all the activities surrounding the event, Indiana Derby Day has become one of Indiana’s biggest summer sporting events and attracts some of the nation’s top 3-year-olds. “Our racing office staff works very hard to assemble top quality fields for each of these stakes.

“Each year, Indiana Derby Day continues to grow and sets new handle records,” said Eric Halstrom, vice president and general manager of racing. Stakes Schedule | Stakes Tracker | Stakes Results
