Heaven and Horseshoes Community Center Prepares to Open at Horseshoe Indianapolis

[Wandering Eyes]

Heaven and Horseshoes, A Worship and Community Center, is preparing to officially open Friday, Feb. 6. The 7,000-square foot facility is located just outside the entrance to the backstretch area at Horseshoe Indianapolis Racing and Casino and will provide space for numerous events for Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing participants.

The building will be occupied by the Indiana Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association (HBPA) along with Quarter Horse Racing Association of Indiana (QHRAI).

“We are very grateful to Caesars Entertainment for providing the property and funding for this project,” said Joe Davis, President of Indiana HBPA. “The facility turned out beyond our expectations and will allow us to provide numerous events throughout the year that benefit our horsemen and women.”

In addition to the gathering area, Heaven and Horseshoes includes a 126-seat Chapel, complete with a full audio visual system.

“Our ministry for our racing community is a vital part of our operations,” added Mickey Sajche, Chaplain for both QHRAI and Indiana HBPA. “This space allows us to provide more efficient space for weekly bible study groups as well as weekly church services. We plan to have our first service Sunday, February 8 and hope to offer weekly bilingual services each Sunday evening.”

Heaven and Horseshoes will conduct a ribbon cutting ceremony Feb. 6 followed by a program in the Chapel featuring guest speaker Pat Day, retired Hall of Fame jockey.
