The Kentucky Derby is Just The Beginning...
It all started in 1875 with the Run for the Roses, a two-minute race that would come to be known as “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports.” The iconic race is still run beneath the historic Twinspires 150 years later, making the Kentucky Derby the longest continually held sporting event in the United States. Today, the Derby attracts 150,000 fans and helps to bring over $400 million to the local economy each year.
Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, Churchill Downs Incorporated has expanded through the development of live and historical racing entertainment venues, the growth of the Twinspires horse racing online wagering business and the operation and development of regional casino gaming properties.
