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.

  • The Effects of Jockey Extreme Dieting to Injuries on the Track
    The Effects of Jockey Extreme Dieting to Injuries on the Track Lessening the health risks on and off the track by increasing weight allowed Tag Words: horse racing, jockey, health, safety, injury Authors: Brooke Domino and Julie M. Fagan, Ph.D. Summary: Due to jockeys carrying minimal weight, they often face major health issues resulting from extreme dieting, this also leads to poor bone strength causing higher percentages in fractures. To help lessen the strain put on jockeys to battle their weight, bug rider weight starting at 105 should be increased to at least 110. The five pounds means a lot to the jockeys and since racehorses already carry an average of 130lbs in morning exercises, 5 extra pounds starting with an apprentice rider should not harm the horse any further. California has shown in the past programs to help which include raising jockey weights, this step can help jockeys a lot. Another solution could be that jockeys have to endure mandatory pre-race evaluations, this could measure BMI scores and judge overall how healthy the rider actually is and if they are indeed fit enough to endure races. As drugs in the industry have become more nationalized, weight limits should as well so starting a nation increase in jockey weight is the first step. Doctors that are already on hand on race days can help by doing pre-race exams for the jockeys as well as classes can be made for jockeys to learn how to lose weight properly which could also include family since often they are left in the dark upon these issues.

    My Drift Title: Triple Crown Written by: Jerry D. Petersen Date: 20 May 2017 Article Number: 259-2017-15 The Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Horse Racing, better known as the Triple Crown, is a title awarded to a three-year-old thoroughbred horse who wins the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes. The three races were inaugurated in different years, the last being the Kentucky Derby in 1875. These races are now run annually in May and early June of each year. The Triple Crown Trophy, commissioned in 1950 but awarded to all previous winners as well as those after 1950, is awarded to a Triple Crown winner. The Triple Crown Trophy Churchill Downs thoroughbred racetrack is located on Central Avenue in south Louisville, Kentucky. It is most famous for hosting the Kentucky Derby annually (on the first Saturday of May). This race is nicknamed, “The Run for the Roses.” The track is named for John and Henry Churchill who provided the land. It officially opened in 1875 and held the first Kentucky Derby and the first Kentucky Oaks in the same year. Churchill Downs has also hosted the renowned Breeders' Cup on eight occasions, most recently in 2011. Churchill Downs Front Inside Churchill Downs The Kentucky Derby Pimlico Race Course is a thoroughbred horse racetrack in Baltimore, Maryland, most famous for hosting the Preakness Stakes.
