Harrah's Hoosier Park: George sends out 2,000th winner

Leading trainer Tyler George reached a milestone to kick off Thursday's (May 7) program at Harrah's Hoosier Park, reaching career victory 2,000 with Keayang Taco A, driven by Trace Tetrick.

Leaving from post two as the 2-5 wagering favorite, Keayang Taco A settled into third while Gallant Attribute (Travis Seekman) took command through a 26 2/5 first quarter. Tetrick brushed Keayang Taco A to the top on the backstretch, reaching the half in 55 2/5 before pacing to three-quarters in 1:24 1/5. Remaining strong on the front-end, Keayang Taco A would fend off a host of challengers in the stretch to reach the wire first by 1 3/4 lengths in 1:52.

George has been the leading trainer at Harrah's Hoosier Park each of the last six seasons, setting a single-season record for most training victories at the track in 2025 with 165. The 41-year-old conditioner had a career-best year in 2025, winning 201 races across the Midwest and banking $2.8 million in seasonal earnings. George currently sits atop the trainer standings in 2026 at Harrah's Hoosier Park with 29 victories in 80 starts.
