      Horseshoe Indianapolis Concludes Record 2025 Season

      By Wandering Eyes · Posted

      For the fifth straight year, Horseshoe Indianapolis set a new record for all-time highest handle wagered on live racing. The 123-day meet, ending on Nov. 13, concluded with total handle surpassed $287 million in 2025. “We couldn't be prouder of our team and our season for the results we saw this year,” said Vice President and General Manager of Racing Eric Halstrom. “We were going up against some pretty big numbers from 2024. Despite running 49 less races this year, we were still able to top last year's figures. Our team continues to find ways to elevate our racing program, and we could not achieve this success without the partnerships with our horsemen's organizations. They play a big part in supporting our mission and goals in creating a quality product.” Horseshoe Indianapolis also saw a reduction in turf races due to adverse weather in 2025. A total of 198 turf races were held compared to 237 in 2024. “We really struggled with weather issues this year,” added Halstrom. “Our turf course has become known as one of the best and that can be attributed directly to our track maintenance crew led by Tony Martinez. Because of them we only lost 39 turf races during the season. If they had not worked hard to keep the course going, we might have lost even more races over the turf.” Overall, Horseshoe Indianapolis brought in $287,801,273 in total handle compared to $282,131,209 in 2024, showing an increase of 2.01%. That figure is expected to surge over the $300-million mark once all international outlets are accounted for and added in by the end of the year. Total handle per race was up with a 6.39% increase of $252,886 compared to $236,886 last season. On track handle saw a slight jump to $4,818,434 compared to $4,724,140, a two percent increase year over year. Horseshoe Indianapolis also recorded a new record for a single day handle as more than $9.163 million was wagered July 5 during the 31st running of the GIII Indiana Derby. The previous record was set during the 2024 Indiana Derby at $8.147 million, showing more than a $1 million increase. The sixth annual Indiana Champions Day Saturday, Oct. 25 also set a record of more than $2.8 million wagered, which was also a new record for that event featuring both Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing. Of the 123 racing days, six were dedicated to Quarter Horse racing, which also produced a record. More than $1.273 million was wagered on the May 31 Quarter Horse card, marking a new record for a single day card for the sprinters. The second Quarter Horse day also produced a total handle of more than $1 million Saturday, June 29 with more than $1.142 wagered on the day. The 24th season of live Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse returns Tuesday, Apr. 7. For more information on racing at Horseshoe Indianapolis, visit www.caesars.com/horseshoe-indianapolis/racing.

      Sensational Miler Hawk Wing Succumbs To Colic At 26

      By Wandering Eyes · Posted

      Multiple Group 1 winner Hawk Wing has died from colic in Korea. The brilliant winner of the G1 Lockinge Stakes was 26. The son of Woodman claimed the G1 National Stakes at two for Aidan O'Brien and Susan Magnier. At three, he found only stablemates Rock Of Gibraltar and High Chaparral too good in the G1 2000 Guineas and the G1 Derby, respectively. Back in the winner's circle in the G1 Eclipse Stakes, he ran second in both the G1 Irish Champion Stakes and G1 Champion Stakes. At four, he delivered his career-defining victory, running out an 11-length winner of the G1 Lockinge Stakes at Newbury. An injury in the G1 Queen Anne Stakes resulted in retirement to Coolmore Stud. He stood there from 2004-2008. From 2009 onward, Hawk Wing was based at KRA Jeju Stud Farm in Korea. A total of 15 of his progeny were stakes winners led by eight group winners. GI American Oaks heroin Cambina and G1 Sydney Cup victor Stand To Gain were his best runners. Hawk Wing was bred by Hill 'N' Dale Farm, and sold for $225,000 during the 1999 Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale. Sent back through the ring during the 2000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select Sale, he brought $300,000 from Par Four Racing Stable.
