Harrah's Hoosier: Thursday night handle record broken again

After recording the largest Thursday night handle in the history of the track on April 8, Harrah's Hoosier Park Racing & Casino eclipsed that newly-minted record just one week later on April 15. Bolstered by guaranteed wagers and competitive racing, the evening's 14-race card produced a total of $1,380,396 wagered.

Several longshot winners in the early pick 5 sequence sparked an instant carryover of $7,691.14 and was added to the late pick 5 sequence on the card with a $25,000 guarantee. This was in addition to the regularly-scheduled $10,000 guaranteed Pick 4 which returned $4,087.

The early pick 5 sequence is one of many new additions to the wagering menu for the 2021 live racing season which has been well received by the wagering public. Expert selections and handicapping tools are also available for free on Harrah's Hoosier Park's website.

Live racing will return to Harrah's Hoosier Park on Friday, April 16 with an action-packed 14-race card. Friday's card will feature a $16,000 Open II Pace and three divisions of the Jerry Landess Memorial Pacing Series. Friday's card will also feature a $10,000 guaranteed pool in the Hoosier High-5 in the last race of the program.
