“Our team at Harrah’s Hoosier Park remains focused on hosting a highly-successful Breeders Crown, in partnership with the Hambletonian Society, the Indiana Standardbred Association, and the Indiana Horse Racing Commission,” said Harrah’s Hoosier Park VP and GM of Racing, Rick Moore. “We will once again execute a top-notch, two-night event to decide year-end honors for the best harness racing athletes in North America, all while keeping the safety of our guests, team members, and racing community at the forefront of our event.”

The Breeders Crown is a $6 million championship series designed to decide year-end honors and draws the year’s best Standardbreds from across North America to compete against one another.

As a part of the 2020 Breeders Crown, Harrah’s Hoosier Park (along with Libfeld-Katz and The Hambletonian Society) will host a Breeders Crown Charity Challenge to benefit non-profit organizations. The 2019 charity challenge brought in more than $282,000 in fundraising with Libfeld-Katz at the helm, and the 2020 goal is to exceed that figure.

“In times like today, there’s an even greater need for collaboration with non-profits on fundraising opportunities,” noted Moore. “We are focused on putting together a first-class event in a reduced capacity, and using the 2020 Breeders Crown as a platform to raise what we hope to be hundreds of thousands of dollars for worthy organizations.”

Harrah’s Hoosier Park is currently operating at a reduced capacity, in accordance with the State of Indiana and regulatory guidelines. Both Harrah’s Hoosier Park and the Hambletonian Society remain committed to following all safety protocols outlined by the State of Indiana and set forth in Harrah’s Hoosier Park’s health and safety plan.
