Churchill Downs Inc. and NYRA today announced the creation of the "Thoroughbred Championship Series." The new six-race competition will begin in 2027 and establish a season-long championship for America's leading 3-year-old Thoroughbreds.

Churchill Downs Inc. plans to sell nine wholly owned casinos as it leans into three horse racing and pari-mutuel properties that include the Kentucky Derby (G1), historical horse racing, and its advance-deposit wagering platform TwinSpires.com.

Churchill Downs Inc. reports record net revenue for the second quarter of 2026 on a day it also announces a return to 100% ownership of United Tote Company, while also providing update on capital projects at its flagship racetrack in Louisville, Ky.
