Churchill Downs Incorporated has received approval from the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission to increase from 600 to 900 historical racing machines for the opening of its new Derby City Gaming facility. The nearly complete 85,000-square-foot $65 million facility is scheduled to open in September.
“We're overwhelmed by the support we've received since announcing Derby City Gaming—it's clear that Kentuckians are passionate about how the new HRM facility will strengthen the Commonwealth's horseracing industry,” said Kevin Flanery, President of Churchill Downs Racetrack. “Derby City Gaming will support Kentucky's equine industry through larger purses and greater incentives for breeders and owners. That's important because a stronger horse racing industry means a stronger Kentucky.”
