From a night at the races to huge class sizes and outstanding prizes, the 2018 Indy Circuit delivered a fantastic start to a dual-show circuit that will continue in Newcastle, IN. through June 10th. The Indy Circuit kicked off June 2nd with judges Rob Meneely, Sharon Wellman, John Briggs, and Mark Russell officiating.
Check out some of the larger class sizes at the show.
One fun event at the show was the Quarter Horse Night at the Races on Tuesday evening, when three AQHA competitors joined a few seasoned Harness Racing teams for a competition at Hoosier Park. The winner of the IQHA/Henry County Saddle Club Celebrity Race was Mark Dunham with an assist from driver Joey Putnam and Scarlett V.
