An exclusive interview with Churchill Downs Inc. CEO Bill Carstanjen
is the feature this week on the Ron Flatter Racing Pod.
Carstanjen provided 45 minutes of his time to answer a wide range
of questions at CDI’s corporate headquarters in Louisville, Ky. He discusses long-range
plans for the company’s racing properties as well as snapshot of Churchill’s casino
and online gaming components. He also talks about the Horseracing Integrity and
Safety Authority with all its nuances, the end of the suspension of trainer Bob Baffert, the successful spread of
historic horse-racing machines, the controversial closing of Arlington Park, plans for the
continued expansion of the Churchill Downs racetrack and what it is like to be the boss on Kentucky Derby day.
Paddock Prince handicapper David Levitch offers tips on weekend
races, and co-host John Cherwa reacts to the interview with Carstanjen.
