<strong>QHRAI</strong> AND QUARTER HORSE FANS<br />

REALLY KNOW HOW TO HAVE FUN!!<br />

June 30th was a huge event for <strong>QHRAI</strong> and Quarter Horse fans in Indiana!! In edition to a full card of Quarter<br />

Horse races including 5 stakes with purses totalling over half a million dollars, we managed to fit some<br />

other activities in the day!!<br />

The day was kicked off with a<br />

picnic sponsored by <strong>QHRAI</strong><br />

and Indiana Downs. The band<br />

“Down Shift” provided entertainment<br />

the crowd.<br />

Guests took tours,<br />

courtesy of great Indiana<br />

Downs folks,<br />

to the “backside” to<br />

see where horses are<br />

stalled, receiving barn,<br />

test barn and other features<br />

of the track.<br />

Lead Singer<br />

from the band<br />

Down Shift sang<br />

the National Anthem<br />

as the gate<br />

crew salutes the<br />

American Flag.<br />

Chris Duke, <strong>QHRAI</strong> President and Jen Perkins,<br />

AQHA “Racing Ace” discussed thier handicap<br />

picks with the crowd during the picnic. Free<br />

betting vouchers were given to anyone who had<br />

questions asked. Rumor has it that Chris out<br />

handicapped Jen, maybe his inside connections<br />

gave him a slight advantage!!
