2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K Chairman and CEO’S Message Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders 2021 Proxy Statement 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K Chairman and CEO’s Message Dear Fellow Shareholders, Our country faced unprecedented challenges in 2020 stemming from the COVID-19 global pandemic. Our leadership teams’ quick actions to reduce our cost structure, preserve capital and provide additional financial resources in response to this crisis reflected the resilience necessary to weather these difficult times. We are proud of how our leadership team and our team members reacted quickly to the pandemic’s threat to our company and we want to personally thank each of them for their commitment and dedication. Their actions enabled our properties to reopen safely for our team members, our guests, and our communities. In 2020, despite the adversity that our team faced, our portfolio of businesses still generated over $1 billion of revenue and $287 million of Adjusted EBITDA. Also, we had a total shareholder return in 2020 of 43%—a return that significantly exceeded the S&P 500, the Russell 2000, and the S&P Midcap 400 Index. We are especially proud of the following 2020 accomplishments: Š In a very challenging environment, we safely ran the 146th Kentucky Derby, spectator-free on the first Saturday of September, generating double digit positive EBITDA. We protected the safety of our community and team members and also protected the reputation, the brand, and the long-term value of this iconic asset. Š Our TwinSpires Horse Racing business delivered record revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. Š The margin for our wholly-owned casino properties in the second half of 2020 was up 690 basis points excluding quarterly results for properties that were closed during this period. Š We now have three historical racing machine (HRM) facilities that have generated nearly 600 full-time equivalent jobs for Kentucky and generated substantial purse money for Kentucky’s racetracks which in turn fuels the entire Kentucky horse industry. – Our Derby City Gaming business generated more Adjusted EBITDA in 2020 than in 2019 despite being closed for approximately 100 days in 2020. – We opened our Oak Grove Racing, Gaming & Hotel Facility including a hotel in southwest Kentucky, in mid- September 2020 and we opened our Newport Racing and Gaming Facility in Newport, Kentucky in October 2020. 2021 is a transition year for our company. We have already begun to reinvigorate our organic growth plans: Š We remain committed to protecting and building our iconic asset—The Kentucky Derby. We will announce an updated expansion plan for Churchill Downs Racetrack. Š We are building our Turfway Park HRM facility. Š We will further invest in and grow our Derby City Gaming, Oak Grove and Newport properties. Š We are building an expansion at Rivers Casino Des Plaines. Š We will remain disciplined in growing our TwinSpires Horse Racing business—the most profitable online wagering platform - and building a long-term profitable TwinSpires Sports and Casino business. Š We will remain focused on maintaining safety and health protocols as we efficiently grow our gaming properties and acquire strategic gaming properties at reasonable multiples. We remain thoughtful stewards of our shareholders’ capital and will invest capital to create long-term shareholder value while maintaining capacity for dividend growth and opportunistic share repurchases. We are well-positioned to capitalize on our growth pipeline as we return to lower leverage levels. We look forward to our businesses returning to full throttle, accelerating the growth from our newer properties, and executing our organic growth opportunities over the coming years. R.

Meeker and Chairman William S. Farish 1999 Annual Report 3 1999 was the year in which our planning and our commitment to excellence resulted in outstanding progress for Churchill Downs Incorporated. Aided by strategic acquisitions, we achieved record financial results, we reinforced our leadership in the racing industry, and we continued our development of a comprehensive simulcast product. These accomplishments underscore the value of our four-prong business strategy, which continues to guide us as we embark on an era in our industry that will be defined by marketing innovations and technological advances. With progress comes change. Two years ago, our operations were centered in Indiana and Kentucky. We now have five racetracks in four states, including California and Florida. The acquisitions of Calder Race Course and Hollywood Park more than tripled the size of our Company’s assets. In 1997, we had a staff of 325 full-time employees; now we employ 1,000 people full time. To support this growth, the integration of our new properties and any future expansion plans, the Company has built a strong managerial infrastructure, and we are dedicating considerable energies to develop cohesiveness in our practices, which allows us to share resources effectively.
