Racing season underway at Indiana Grand Racing & Casino
The 12th season of Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing is underway at Indiana Grand Racing & Casino. The 120-day meet kicked off Tuesday, May 6 and has been going strong ever since, drawing large weekend crowds that are enjoying many new changes and upgrades to the facility. One of the most notable additions at Indiana Grand is the new state of the art 10mm LED Video Display board which is the centerpiece of the new tote board. The “Jumbotron” provides a perfect seat in the house for all racing fans and brings all the racing action to life. Along with the “Jumbotron,” all new flat screen televisions have been upgraded throughout the interior of the grandstand facility.
