Hambletonian Society shifting US$1-million Hambletonian to Indiana, not Woodbine
The Hambletonian Society has decided to relocate the US$1-million Grade 1 race from Woodbine Mohawk Park to Harrah's Hoosier Park in Indiana, starting in 2027. The Hambletonian Stakes, which has been held at The Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford, N.J., since 1981, is a highly esteemed event in harness racing. However, the venue's contract only extended to 2026.
Both Woodbine and Harrah's Hoosier Park submitted bids to host the prestigious race. The decision to move the Hambletonian to Indiana will see the event calling the state of Indiana home for at least three years, until 2029.
