Due to forecasted heat index numbers in the Central Indiana area Wednesday, Horseshoe Indianapolis has moved the entire racing program to Monday.
The 10-race program will begin at 2:10 p.m. Monday with no live racing as previously scheduled held Wednesday.
“We are constantly monitoring weather conditions that could be unsafe for our participants, and after talking with our horsemen from both Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse, we collectively feel it’s in the best interest of our team members, horsemen, and horses to move our Wednesday program to Monday,” said Eric Halstrom, Vice President and General Manager of Racing. “We know it’s important to our horsemen not to lose racing opportunities, so this move will ensure safer weather conditions for everyone involved, especially those who work outdoors during our racing program.”
Heat index figures are predicted to top 104 degrees Wednesday, which spurred the decision to move the card to Monday. Thursday conditions are predicted to be elevated as well, but at this time, are not forecasted to be as dangerous.
Track management will continue to monitor conditions for the Thursday racing program, which is still on track to race. Any additional cancellations or adjustments will be announced closer to the Thursday program.
The 24th season of live Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse extends through Nov. 13.
