Those winning the drawing prizes included Jess DeLong, Bryce Nickells, and Pie Ode.
The ISA teamed up once again with Harrah’s Hoosier Park for the bowling outing. Hoosier Park provided all the prizes for the adults which included merchandise from the track and an air fryer.
Everyone in attendance enjoyed complimentary pizza and soft drinks while bowling during the event. ISA Executive Director Tony Renz, ISA Horsemen’s Representative PD Huffman, and ISA Director Emily Dever assisted with the event that was attended by several other ISA Directors and their families.
The event serves as a perfect backdrop to kick off the 2023 racing season in Indiana and a great way for horsemen and horsewomen to reconnect after the winter off from racing at Harrah’s Hoosier Park. Best of luck to everyone in racing for the 30th season at the track.
