Churchill Downs Incorporated CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders 2017 Proxy Statement 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K Chairman and CEO’s Message Dear Fellow Shareholders, The extraordinary core strength for our Company has been the Kentucky Derby and our ability to continue to consistently invest in, and grow, it year over year. As our Company diversified over recent years into (i) online wagering through Twinspires.com, (ii) brick and mortar casinos through greenfield development opportunities and strategic acquisitions and (iii) online and mobile social casino and casual free-to-play games through Big Fish Games, some of our other attributes have been increasingly important... • We run our businesses leanly and efficiently with a constant focus on sensible cost out opportunities; • We focus on generating very strong cash flow and we never lose sight of that metric on any project we do; • We are careful about our leverage ratio and have always grown our Company without compromising our balance sheet; and • We seek organic growth first but are also deeply experienced in strategic M&A and will take advantage of opportunities when we find them. As we look forward to 2017 and beyond, we will continue to invest in Kentucky Derby Week and in Twinspires.com. We expect to continue to see the return on our invested capital. We will also continue to invest in our brick and mortar casinos to grow them and will selectively acquire or build new properties if the opportunities fit our investment profile. Finally, we see plenty of opportunity as well as capability with Big Fish Games in the online and mobile social casino and casual free-2-play games spaces. In fact, we need to do a better job harvesting the opportunities we have in this space. A few comments on 2016 Kentucky Derby Week set all time-records for Adjusted EBITDA, attendance and all sources wagering. Our ongoing investment in our facility reflects our commitment to growing this iconic event. TwinSpires continued to deliver strong growth in 2016 with wagering of $1.1 billion, up 13.7% compared to 2015. We outpaced the industry growth by 13.1 percentage points in 2016 - reflecting the ongoing shift away from brick and mortar outlets to mobile online wagering as well as our focus on growth from big events such as the Triple Crown races and the Breeders’ Cup World Championships. Our Calder, Miami Valley Gaming and Oxford gaming properties delivered strong organic growth and we benefited from a full year of equity income and management fee revenue from our equity investment in Saratoga. Our Louisiana and Mississippi gaming properties remain challenged by a weak economic environment and robust competition for customers. We expanded our Casinos segment through two equity investments. In November, we acquired a 25% interest in Saratoga Casino Black Hawk in Colorado. And, in January 2017, we partnered with Saratoga to acquire the casino and racetrack at Ocean Downs in Maryland. Big Fish Games delivered $486 million in bookings, up 7.3% compared to 2015. While the growth in bookings was disappointing overall given our user acquisition spending, we remain committed to the long-term growth of this business. Our collective mix of businesses generates strong cash flow and our disciplined approach to leverage provides financial strength and flexibility to take advantage of future growth opportunities. We delivered record results in 2016 making key strategic investments in our businesses while also returning $58 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. As we look to 2017 and beyond, we remain committed to delivering strong financial results for our shareholders and positioning our company for long-term sustainable growth. We are confident in our leadership team and dedicated employees who work hard every day to grow the company – creating long term value for you, our shareholders. G. Watts Humphrey, Jr. William C.
