History

The Indiana Oaks was inaugurated on 16 September 1995 at Hoosier Park and run over a distance of 1 mile. The event was won by the short odds-on Niner's Home who withstood the fast closing Alltheway Bertie to win by a neck in a time 1:37 flat on a fast track.[1]

The event was held over a mile in 1996 before being extended to the current distance of 1+1⁄16 miles in 1997.[2]

The event was upgraded to Grade III in 2001 and in 2008 to Grade II. It held this classification until 2017 when the event was downgraded back to Grade III.[3]

The event carried Breeders' Cup incentives between 1998 and 2006 which were reflected in the name of the event.[3]

In 2013 the event was moved to Indiana Grand,[2] now known as Horseshoe Indianapolis. Since 2015, the race has been held in July.[3]
