The Indiana Derby is a Grade III American Thoroughbred horse race for three-year-olds run over a distance of <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />1+1⁄16 miles on the dirt held annually in July at Horseshoe Indianapolis in Shelbyville, Indiana. It is the racetrack's signature event offering its current highest purse at $300,000.
History
The event was inaugurated on 7 October 1995 at Hoosier Park and was won by Dogwood Stable's Peruvian who was the second part of trainer Peter Vestal's entry in a time of 1:43 flat on a fast track.[1]
The event was upgraded to Grade III in 2002 and in 2004 to Grade II. It held this classification until 2017 when the event was downgraded back to Grade III.[2]
The dead heat in the 2006 running was the first dead heat for the Indiana Derby. The result was contested by the owners of Star Dabbler who came out of the race injured. They believed he won the race so took the issue to arbitration but the result was upheld.[3]
The 2009 win by Misremembered set a new track record.[4] 2010 marked a groundbreaking year for the Indiana Derby and racing in the state of Indiana when Lookin At Lucky became the first winner of a Triple Crown race ever to race in the state of Indiana. Sent off at odds of 2–5, Lookin At Lucky won the race by 1<templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />1⁄4 lengths in last-to-first fashion much to the delight of the ontrack crowd.[5]
In 2013 the event was moved to Indiana Grand,[6] now known as Horseshoe Indianapolis. Since 2015, the race has been held in July.[2]
Bob Baffert became the first trainer to win the race two years in a row in 2009 and 2010 with Misremembered and Lookin At Lucky. He won his third Indiana Derby with Power Broker in 2013, and his fourth with Cupid in 2016.
In 2020 the event was run over the <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />1+1⁄8 miles distance however the following year this distance was reverted to <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />1+1⁄16 miles.[6]
