It is in two phases. Phase I consists of collecting and evalu- ating baseline data for use in designing models in Louisville, Lexington, Somerset and Hazard, Kentucky. Additionally, training workshops in social gerontology for site libraries provided orientation which will be helpful in developing models during Phase II. An audio-visual presentation of the background of the project was prepared for use nationwide by libraries and other agencies concerned with services to the aging. Data was collected by search o: literature, personal interviews, a users-non-users survey, and a comprehensive library report form. Results are reported as: A selected, annotated bibliography on the library and senior citizen Four community site profiles presenting findings on demography, social, economic, mutural features and current resources A user-non-user survey of client groups. Initial findings are descriptive of selected characteristics. Data will be computer processed to construct a User Potential Index. Comprehensive reports and analyses of four site library systems. Comparisons are based on nationally developed library standards. A first-draft Casebook of successful existing and innovative programs. To avoid a cumbersome document, a model programin one category is described, noting differences in similar programs elsewhere. Conclusion: Phase I produced (1) convincing evidence of need for the project and (2) adequate data to launch Phase II. - 1 - 3/4 Final Report - Phase One Project No. 1-0701 Grant No. OEG-0-72-1671 4, A Demonstration Pilot Project of Comprehensive Library Services for the Aged in Selected Communities in Kentucky (NRTA/AARP Kentucky Library Project) Lawrence 0.

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.

  • Churchill Downs and Keeneland Joint Venture Applies to Build $125 Million Racing Facility in Oak Grove, Kentucky
    Churchill Downs and Keeneland Joint Venture Applies to Build $125 Million Racing Facility in Oak Grove, Kentucky September 4, 2018 Proposed 2019 Standardbred Meet to be Hosted at old Louisville Downs Venue, with Future Meets to be Held at New Racing Facility in Oak Grove, Kentucky LEXINGTON, Ky., Sept. 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WKY Development, LLC – a joint venture between Churchill Downs Incorporated (“CDI”) (Nasdaq: CHDN) and Keeneland Association Inc. (“Keeneland”) – filed an application today with the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission (“KHRC”) requesting live standardbred racing dates at CDI’s old Louisville Downs racing venue located at Derby City Gaming (DCG) in Louisville for 2019 and in 2020 at its proposed venue in Oak Grove (Christian County). Proposed Facility in Christian County, KY This historic partnership between CDI and Keeneland is designed to strengthen and grow the standardbred racing circuit in Kentucky following last year’s closure of Thunder Ridge racetrack in Prestonsburg. The application is for a 10-day standardbred race meet in 2019 at CDI’s old Louisville Downs racing venue located at Derby City Gaming in Louisville. If approved, CDI and Keeneland will solely fund these purses as there has been no prior pari-mutuel activity to generate purse revenue for this meet. The 2019 meet is a critical, short-term measure to support the standardbred racing circuit and bridge the gap to future races in 2020 at the new Oak Grove racing venue. If approved by the KHRC, beginning in 2020, live standardbred racing would permanently move to the proposed Oak Grove venue in Christian County raising the profile of the Kentucky circuit and building larger purses in the process.

We are pleased and honored to bring the Breeders Crown back to the midwest and back to Indiana for the second time in the last five years. Hosting this event is a privilege and certainly a recognition of the hard work and dedication from our horsemen and horsewomen throughout the state. We value and appreciate the partnerships between Caesars Entertainment and The Hambletonian Society, The Indiana Standardbred Association, Indiana Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association, Quarter Horse Racing Association of Indiana, Indiana Horsemen’s Benevolent Association and Protection Association, the Indiana Horse Racing Commission, the Indiana Legislature and of course, our racing fans and entire Harrah’s Hoosier Park team. Together, we have elevated the Indiana racing industry to new heights as witnessed by the success of the 2017 Breeders Crown event. This year has certainly presented its unique set of challenges but our team has remained committed to hosting a safe and exciting event for everyone to enjoy. This weekend, we are welcoming a reduced number of racing fans to Harrah’s Hoosier Park but will welcome thousands more watching from across the world. The stage is set and we are elated to showcase the best the sport of harness racing has to offer as they vie to solidify their place in Breeders Crown history.
