Ridiculous and embarrassing
I tend to look at Indiana Grand, like Oaklawn, as a pro-racing racino. It's about more than one race.

Indiana Grand actually invests in the horseracing product - they're adding a large barn AND a dormitory for the backside workers:

“Each year, we turn many stables away because we just don't have the stall space for them,” said Eric Halstrom, Vice President and General Manager of Racing at Indiana Grand Racing & Casino. “As our racing continues to grow at the national level, we receive even more requests to race at our facility. This addition will further solidify Indiana Grand's as a premier racing destination.”

They have one of the longer meets of the year with 120 racing days from April-November, running what is now a somewhat atypical 4 and sometimes 5 days a week of 9 and 10 race cards.

I'd consider the racing there as more than just an afterthought. It's been a nice product to wager on much of the year.
