CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 (continued)
(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are
presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and
consequently do not include all of the disclosures normally required by
generally accepted accounting principles or those normally made in
Churchill Downs Incorporated's (the "Company") annual report on Form
10-K. The year end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived
from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the
reader of this Form 10-Q may wish to refer to the Company's Form 10-K
for the period ended December 31, 1998 for further information. The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the registrant's customary accounting
practices and have not been audited. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of this information have
been made and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Because of the seasonal nature of the Company's business, revenues and
operating results for any interim quarter are not indicative of the
revenues and operating results for the year and are not necessarily
comparable with results for the corresponding period of the previous
year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect a disproportionate share of annual net earnings as the Company
normally earns a substantial portion of its net earnings in the second
quarter of each year during which the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks
are run. The Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks are run on the first
weekend in May.

2. Long-Term Debt

On April 23, 1999, the Company increased its line of credit to $250
million under a new revolving loan facility through a syndicate of banks
headed by its principal lender to meet working capital and other
short-term requirements and to provide funding for acquisitions,
including the pending acquisition of Hollywood Park Race Track. This
credit facility replaced a $100 million line of credit obtained during
the third quarter of 1998. The interest rate on the borrowing is based
upon LIBOR plus 75 to 250 additional basis points, which is determined
by certain Company financial ratios. There was $100.0 million
outstanding on the line of credit at June 30, 1999 compared to $11.0
million outstanding at December 31, 1998 and $6.0 million outstanding at
June 30, 1998 under previous lines of credit. The line of credit is
secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its wholly
owned subsidiaries, and matures in 2004.

3. Reclassification

Certain prior period financial statement amounts have been reclassified
to conform to the current period presentation.

4. Acquisitions

On May 5, 1999, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with
Hollywood Park, Inc. to acquire the Hollywood Park Race Track and the
Hollywood Park Casino in Inglewood, California, for approximately $140.0
million plus acquisition costs which approximate $2.0 million as of June
30, 1999. Consummation of the acquisition is subject to several
conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals. The Company will
acquire approximately 240 acres of land upon which the racetrack and
casino are located. The Company will lease the Hollywood Park Casino to
Hollywood Park, Inc. under a ten-year lease with one ten-year renewal
option. The lease provides for annual rent of $3.0 million, subject to
adjustment during the renewal period. The transaction is expected to
close on August 31, 1999.

On April 23, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. from KE Acquisition
Corporation for a purchase price of $86 million cash plus a closing net
working capital adjustment of approximately $2.9 million cash and $0.6
million in transaction costs. The purchase included Calder Race Course
in Miami and the licenses held by Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical
Park, Inc. to conduct horse racing at Calder Race Course. Calder Race
Course, one of four Thoroughbred tracks in Florida, offers live racing
and simulcast- only days during two consecutive race meets, which run
from late May through early January. The purchase price of $89.5 million
was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their fair
values on the acquisition date with the excess of $48.7 million being
recorded as goodwill, which is being amortized over 40 years. The
acquisition was accounted for by the Company under the purchase method
of accounting and, accordingly, the financial position and results of
operations of Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. have been
included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since the
date of acquisition. The purchase price allocation above is preliminary
and may require adjustment in the Company's future financial statements
based on a final determination of liabilities assumed in the
acquisition.

On April 21, 1998, the Company acquired from TVI Corp., ("TVI") all of
the outstanding stock of Racing Corporation of America ("RCA") for a
purchase price of $22.6 million, which includes transaction costs of
$0.6 million. RCA owns and operates Ellis Park Race Course in Henderson,
Kentucky, and the Kentucky Horse Center, a training facility located in
Lexington, Kentucky. As part of the transaction, TVI received 200,000
shares of the Company's common stock valued at $4.9 million with the
remaining balance of $17.1 million paid from cash on hand and a draw on
the Company's bank line of credit. The purchase price of $22.6 million
was allocated to the

-7-

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 (continued)
(Unaudited)

acquired assets and liabilities based on their fair values on the
acquisition date with the excess of $6.4 million being recorded as
goodwill, which is being amortized over 40 years. The acquisition was
accounted for by the Company under the purchase method of accounting
and, accordingly, the results of operations of RCA subsequent to April
20, 1998, are included in the Company's consolidated results of
operations.

Following are the unaudited pro forma results of operations as if the
April 23, 1999 acquisition of Calder Race Course and the April 21, 1998
acquisition of Racing Corporation of America had occurred on January 1,
1998 (in thousands, except per share and share amounts):


Six Months Ended Six Months Ended

Net revenues $105,378 $97,318

This unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily
indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the
transactions been consummated as of January 1, 1998, nor is it
necessarily indicative of future operating results.

On January 13, 1999, the Company acquired a 60% interest in Charlson
Broadcast Technologies, LLC ("CBT") for $3.1 million and made an
additional equity contribution to CBT in the amount of $2.3 million.
CBT's total assets and liabilities were $2.1 million and $2.2 million,
respectively, on the date of acquisition. The purchase price was
allocated to the fair value of net assets acquired, with the excess of
$3.2 million being amortized over periods of 5 and 20 years based on the
nature of the intangibles acquired. The acquisition was accounted for by
the Company under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly,
the financial position and results of operations have been included in
the Company's consolidated financial statements since the date of
acquisition.

the basic and diluted per share computations:

Diluted net earnings per share $1.39 $1.61 $1.79 $1.79

</TABLE>
Options to purchase 51,766 shares for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1999 were not included in the computation of earnings per
common share-assuming dilution because the options' exercise prices were
greater than the average market price of the common share.

On July 20, 1999, the Company issued 2,300,000 shares of common stock.
If these shares had been outstanding in the periods presented above, it
would have materially impacted the number of potential common shares
outstanding and basic and diluted net earnings per share at the end of
the periods.

6. Segment Information

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." The Company has determined that it
currently operates in the following five segments: (1) Churchill Downs
racetrack, the Louisville Sports Spectrum simulcast facility and
Churchill Downs corporate expenses (2) Calder Race Course (3) Ellis Park
racetrack and its on-site simulcast facility, (4) Hoosier Park racetrack
and its on-site simulcast facility and the other three Indiana simulcast
facilities and (5) Other operations. Hollywood Park Race Track will be
included as a segment after the expected third quarter acquisition.

Most of the Company's revenues are generated from commissions on
pari-mutuel wagering at the Company's racetracks and simulcast wagering
facilities, as well as Indiana riverboat admissions revenue, simulcast
fees, admissions and concessions revenue and other sources. Other
operations include Kentucky Horse Center, Charlson Broadcast
Technologies, LLC and the Company's investments in various other
business enterprises. The Company's equity interest in the net income of
equity method investees is not material. Eliminations include the
elimination of management fees and other intersegment transactions.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described
in the "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Company's
annual report to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 1998.
EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful
than, net income (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of
our operating results of cash flows (as determined in accordance with
GAAP) or as a measure of our liquidity.

ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)



Information set forth in this discussion and analysis contain various
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ( the "Act") provides certain "safe
harbor" provisions for forward-looking statements. All forward-looking
statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made pursuant to the
Act. These statements represent our judgment concerning the future and are
subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual operating results
and financial condition to differ materially. Forward-looking statements are
typically identified by the use of terms such as "may," "will," "expect,"
"anticipate," "estimate," and similar words, although some forward-looking
statements are expressed differently. Although we believe that the expectations
reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable we can give no
assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations
include: the impact of competition from alternative gaming (including lotteries
and riverboat and cruise ship casinos) in those markets in which we operate; a
substantial change in law or regulations affecting our gaming activities; a
substantial change in allocation of live racing days; a decrease in riverboat
admissions revenue from our Indiana operations; our continued ability to
effectively compete for the country's top horses and trainers necessary to field
high-quality horse racing; our ability to execute our acquisition strategy and
to complete or successfully operate planned expansion projects; our ability to
adequately integrate acquired businesses; the loss of our totalisator companies
or their inability to keep their technology current; our accountability for
environmental contamination; Year 2000 computer issues; the loss of key
personnel and the volatility of our stock price.

Overview

We conduct pari-mutuel wagering on live Thoroughbred, Standardbred and
Quarter Horse horse races and simulcast signals of races. Additionally, we offer
racing services through our other interests.

We own and operate the Churchill Downs racetrack in Louisville, Kentucky, which
has conducted Thoroughbred racing since 1875 and is internationally known as
home of the Kentucky Derby. We also own and operate Calder Race Course, a
Thoroughbred racetrack in Miami, Florida; Ellis Park Race Course, a Thoroughbred
racetrack in Henderson, Kentucky ("Ellis Park"); and Kentucky Horse Center,
a Thoroughbred training center in Lexington, Kentucky. Additionally, we are
the majority owner and operator of Hoosier Park in Anderson, Indiana, which
conducts Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse and Standardbred horse racing. We conduct
simulcast wagering on horse racing in Louisville, Kentucky, and at our three
simulcast wagering facilities in Indianapolis, Merrillville and Fort Wayne,
Indiana, as well as at our racetracks.

Because of the seasonal timing of our racing meets, revenues and operating
results for any interim quarter are not indicative of the revenues and operating
results for the year and are not necessarily comparable with results for the
corresponding period of the previous year.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1998

Net Revenues

Net revenues during the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased $19.0 million
(23%) from $82.8 million in 1998 to $101.8 million in 1999. Churchill Downs
racetrack revenues increased $1.9 million (3%) primarily due to an increase in
corporate sponsor event ticket prices, admissions and seat revenue, concessions,
and program revenue as a result of record attendance on Kentucky Oaks and
Kentucky Derby days. Calder Race Course contributed $11.7 million to the first
six months of 1999 net revenues as opposed to none in the prior year. Hoosier
Park revenues increased $2.4 million (11%) primarily due to a $1.8 million
increase in the riverboat gross admissions subsidy of which a portion was
required to be spent on purses and marketing expenses. Net revenues for Ellis
Park for the first six months of 1999 increased $1.7 million (128%) primarily
due to the timing of the acquisition. Other operations, including the 1999
acquisition of Charlson Broadcasting Technologies the 1998 acquisition of
Kentucky Horse Center and intercompany eliminations, comprised the remaining
$1.3 million of the increase.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased $16.5 million (28%) from $58.3 million in 1998 to
$74.8 million in 1999. Churchill Downs racetrack's operating expenses increased
$1.0 million (3%). Calder Race Course incurred 1999 operating expenses of $9.9
million versus none in the first six months of 1998. Hoosier Park operating
expenses increased $2.1 million (11%) due primarily to required increases in
purses and marketing expenses related to the riverboat admissions subsidy. Ellis
Park operating expenses increased $2.2 million (131%) for the first six months
of 1999 as compared to expenses after the acquisition date of April, 21 1998 for
the prior year. Other operations, including Charlson Broadcasting Technologies,
Kentucky Horse Center and intercompany eliminations, accounted for the remaining
$1.3 million of the increase in operating expenses.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $2.6 million from $24.4 million in 1998 to $27.0 million
in 1999. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of the current
year acquisition of Calder Race Course and the increase in gross profit for
Churchill Downs racetrack due to record attendance on Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky
Derby days.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased by $1.9 million
(38%) from $5.0 million in 1998 to $6.9 million in 1999. SG&A expenses at
Churchill Downs increased $0.6 million (15%) due primarily to increased
corporate staffing and compensation expenses reflecting the

-15-

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


Company's strengthened corporate services to meet the needs of new business
units. The acquisition of Calder Race Course contributed $0.5 million and the
second quarter of 1998 acquisition of Ellis Park contributed $0.3 million of the
increase. Other operations, including Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC and
Kentucky Horse Center, accounted for remaining $0.5 million of the increase in
SG&A expenses.

Other Income and Expense

Interest expense increased $1.8 million from $0.4 million in 1998 to $2.2
million in 1999 primarily as a result of borrowings to finance the acquisition
of Calder Race Course and Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC in 1999 and the
acquisition of Ellis Park in April 1998.

Income Tax Provision

Our income tax provision increased by $0.1 million for the six months ended June
30, 1999 as compared to June 30, 1998 as a result of an increase in the
estimated effective tax rate from 38.9% in 1998 to 42.0% in 1999 due primarily
to non-deductible amortization expense related to the acquisitions of Calder
Race Course in April 1999, Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC in January 1999
and Ellis Park and Kentucky Horse Center in April 1998 offset by a decrease
in pre-tax earnings of $1.2 million.

Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1998

Net Revenues

Net revenues during the three months ended June 30, 1999 increased $16.7 million
(25%) from $67.4 million in 1998 to $84.1 million in 1999. Churchill Downs
racetrack revenues increased $2.6 million (5%) primarily due to $1.9 million of
increased revenues on the Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby days. Calder Race
Course contributed $11.7 million to the three months ended June 30, 1999 net
revenues as opposed to none in the prior year. Hoosier Park revenues increased
$1.4 million (12%) primarily due to a $1.0 million increase in the riverboat
gross admissions subsidy of which a portion was required to be spent on purses
and marketing expenses. Net revenues for Ellis Park for the second quarter of
1999 increased by $0.5 million (38%). Other operations, including the 1999
acquisition of Charlson Broadcasting Technologies and intercompany eliminations,
comprised the remaining $0.5 million of the increase.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased $13.4 million (32%) from $42.3 million in 1998 to
$55.7 million in 1999. Churchill Downs racetrack operating expenses increased
$1.0 million (3%). Calder Race Course incurred 1999 operating expenses of $9.9
million versus none in the second quarter of 1998. Hoosier

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


Park operating expenses increased $1.2 million (11%) due primarily to required
increases in purses and marketing expenses related to the riverboat admissions
subsidy. Ellis Park operating expenses increased $0.6 million (36%) for the
second quarter of 1999 as compared to expenses after the acquisition date of
April 21, 1998 for the prior year, consistent with the increase in revenues.
Other operations, including Charlson Broadcasting Technologies, Ellis Park and
intercompany eliminations, accounted for the remaining $0.7 million of the
increase in operating expenses.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $3.5 million from $25.0 million in 1998 to $28.5 million
in 1999. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of the current
year acquisition of Calder Race Course and the increase in gross profit for
Churchill Downs racetrack due to record attendance on Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky
Derby days.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased by $0.8 million
(29%) from $2.8 million in 1998 to $3.6 million in 1999. SG&A expenses at
Churchill Downs increased $0.2 million (9%) due primarily to increased corporate
staffing and compensation expenses reflecting the Company's strengthened
corporate services to meet the needs of new business units. The acquisition of
Calder Race Course contributed $0.5 million. Other operations accounted for
remaining $0.1 million of the increase in SG&A expenses.

Other Income and Expense

Interest expense increased $1.5 million from $0.3 million in 1998 to $1.8
million in 1999 primarily as a result of borrowings to finance the acquisition
of Calder Race Course and Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC in 1999 and the
acquisition of Ellis Park in April 1998.

Income Tax Provision

Our income tax provision increased by $1.1 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 as compared to June 30, 1998 as a result of an increase in pre-tax
earnings of $1.3 million and an increase in the estimated effective tax rate
from 38.9% in 1998 to 41.6% in 1999 due primarily to non-deductible amortization
expense related to the acquisitions of Calder Race Course in April 1999,
Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC in January 1999 and Ellis Park and Kentucky
Horse Center in April 1998.

Significant Changes in the Balance Sheet June 30, 1999 to December 31, 1998

Accounts receivable balances increased by $2.7 million in 1999. The acquisition
of Calder Race Course increased accounts receivable by $1.3 million. The
remaining increase of $1.4 million was primarily a result of the timing of
payments received for Churchill Downs live meet.

Other assets increased $5.2 million in 1999. The acquisition of Calder Race
Course increased other assets $1.8 million primarily due to investments held for
the future Florida Stallion Stakes races. The remaining increase was primarily
due to $2.0 million of costs incurred for the expected acquisition of Hollywood
Park.

Intangible assets increased $53.9 million primarily due to the addition of
goodwill of $3.2 million recorded for the acquisition of Charlson Broadcast
Technologies, LLC during the first quarter of 1999, and $48.7 million recorded
for the acquisition of Calder Race Course during the second quarter of 1999. In
addition, costs related to the Company's new $250 million revolving loan
facility of $2.7 million are included. These increases were partially offset by
current year additions to accumulated amortization.

The net plant and equipment increase of $50.4 million during 1999 included $48.2
million for the acquisitions of Calder Race Course and Charlson Broadcast
Technologies, LLC and the remaining increase was due to routine capital spending
at our operating units offset by current year depreciation expense.

Accounts payable increased $8.2 million at June 30, 1999 primarily due to
increases in purses payable and other expenses related to simulcast wagering for
Hoosier Park and Ellis Park and an increase in accounts payable was also due to
our acquisition of Calder Race Course during the second quarter of 1999.

Accrued expenses increased $8.8 million, primarily due to a $7.1 million
increase as a result of the Calder Race Course acquisition. The remaining
increase was due to accrued acquisition costs related to Calder Race Course and
the acquisition costs related to the expected third quarter of 1999 acquisition
of Hollywood Park Racetrack.

Dividends payable decreased $3.7 million at June 30, 1999 due to the payment of
dividends of $3.7 million (declared in 1998) in first quarter 1999.

Income taxes payable increased by $7.4 million at June 30, 1999 representing the
estimated income tax expense attributed to income generated in the six months of
1999 and the increase in effective tax rate.

Deferred revenue decreased $5.1 million at June 30, 1999, primarily due to the
significant amount of admission and seat revenue that was received prior to
December 31, 1998 recognized as income in May 1999 for the Kentucky Derby and
Kentucky Oaks race days. This decrease was offset by a $2.0 million increase in
deferred revenues acquired with the acquisition of Calder Race Course in the
second quarter of 1999.

CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


The long-term debt increase of $89.7 million was the result of additional
borrowings on our bank line of credit during 1999, primarily used to fund the
1999 acquisitions of Calder Race Course and Charlson Broadcast Technologies,
LLC.

Deferred income taxes increased by $9.0 million primarily as a result of the
recognition of deferred taxes with the Calder Race Course acquisition during the
second quarter of 1999.

Significant Changes in the Balance Sheet June 30, 1999 to June 30, 1998

Other assets increased $4.5 million in 1999. The acquisition of Calder Race
Course increased other assets $1.8 million primarily due to investments held for
the future Florida Stallion Stakes races. The remaining increase was primarily
due to $2.0 million of costs incurred for the expected acquisition of Hollywood

operating units offset by depreciation expense.

The accounts payable increase of $3.3 million was primarily due to the
acquisition of Calder Race Course which represents $2.2 million of the increase.
The remaining $1.1 million was due to the timing of payments for
horsemen-related and simulcast payables for Churchill Downs racetrack Spring
Meet.

Accrued expenses increased $7.6 million, primarily due to a $7.1 million
increase as a result of the Calder Race Course acquisition.

The long-term debt increase of $94.5 million was due primarily to line of credit
borrowings used to fund the acquisitions of Calder Race Course during the second
quarter of 1999 and Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC during the first
quarter of 1999.

Deferred income taxes increased by $8.0 million as a result of the recognition
of deferred taxes with the Calder Race Course acquisition during the second
quarter of 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The working capital deficiency was $4.9 and $7.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, which results from the seasonality
of our businesses. Cash flows provided by operations were $26.1 and $15.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Significant changes in operating cash flows are primarily a result of the
current year acquisitions of Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC and Calder
Race Course. Management believes cash flows from operations and available
borrowings during 1999 will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements for the
year, including capital improvements and the acquisition of Hollywood Park Race
Track and Casino.

Cash flows used in investing activities were $93.7 and $19.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Cash used for 1999 business
acquisitions consisted of $82.4 million net of cash acquired for the acquisition
of Calder Race Course during the second quarter and $2.9 million net of cash
acquired for the acquisition of Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC during the
first quarter. We also had prepaid acquisition costs of $0.3 million for the
expected third quarter acquisition of Hollywood Park Race Track and Casino. We
used $8.1 million for capital spending at our facilities including $1.2 million
for the construction of a stable area dormitory and $0.6 million for the
renovation of the racing offices at Churchill Downs racetack facility. The
additional increase in capital spending from prior year spending is primarily
the result of the RCA, Charlson Broadcast LLC, and Calder Race Course
acquisitions.

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $83.1 and $2.4 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. We borrowed $119 million
and repaid $30 million on our line of credit during 1999 primarily to finance
the purchase of Calder Race Course and Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC. We
received a $1.6 million contribution by a minority interest in our Charlson
Broadcast Technologies, LLC subsidiary. In addition, we incurred $2.7 million of
costs for the origination of the $250 million line of credit.

In April 1999, our total line of credit was increased to $250 million under a
new revolving loan facility, of which $100 million was outstanding at June 30,
1999. This credit facility replaced a $100 million line of credit obtained
during the third quarter of 1998. The new facility is secured by substantially
all of our assets. This credit facility is intended to meet working capital and
other short-term requirements and to provide funding for acquisitions, including
the pending purchase of Hollywood Park. The new revolving loan facility matures
in 2004.

Impact of the Year 2000 Issue

The "Year 2000 Issue" is the result of computer programs that were written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year in date-dependent
systems. If our computer programs with date- sensitive functions are not Year
2000 compliant, they may be unable to distinguish the year 2000 from the year
1900. This could result in system failure or miscalculations leading to a
disruption of business operations.


-20-
CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


Some of our mission critical operations are dependent upon computer systems and
applications. These systems are either directly owned and controlled by us or
are provided under contract by third party technology service providers. To
address the Year 2000 issue, we have categorized the Year 2000 Issue into four
principal areas.

Systems Owned By the Company

The first area is related to systems that we own. These systems include
application software and dedicated hardware that run our core operations. In
addition, there are numerous applications that provide administrative support
and management reporting functions. We developed some of these applications
internally and purchased other applications.

To address Year 2000 compliance across this broad category of systems, we have
broken each system down into its most elemental pieces in order to study the
hardware including any embedded chip technology/firmware, the operating systems
and, finally, the applications themselves.

We have identified hardware, including any embedded chip technology/firmware
that was not Year 2000 compliant and replaced it as part of the routine turnover
of technology capital. The remaining hardware requiring replacement was upgraded
during the first half of 1999. At the end of June 1999, all hardware and
embedded chip technology/firmware that we own were believed to be Year 2000
compliant.

We have checked all operating systems supporting specific applications by
advancing the dates to determine if the date change impacts operating
system-level functionality. As new operating system upgrades are made available
and installed, periodic testing will continue to assure operating system- level
functionality is maintained. In addition, we have contacted the developers of
the operating systems we use and have received assurances as to their
compatibility with the Year 2000 transition.

Application software compliance with the Year 2000 has been certified through a
combination of technical consultation with the software developers and testing.
Applications developed with internal resources have been written with Year 2000
compliance in mind using development tools that are Year 2000 compliant. We have
received technical reports from third parties on Year 2000 compliance for
financial reporting, payroll, operations control and reporting and internal
communications applications. We require Year 2000 compliance on any software
upgrades.

Based on the schedule outlined above, we expect our owned systems to be Year
2000 compliant prior to the year 2000. We will test the system by advancing
dates to include a majority of the Year 2000 critical dates by the fourth
quarter of 1999. However, even though our planned modifications to internally
owned hardware and software should adequately address Year 2000 issues, there
can be no assurance that unforeseen difficulties will not arise.

CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


Technology Services Provided to the Company Under Contract By Third Parties

The second area is services provided to us by third parties. Many of these
services are mission critical and could materially impact on us should the
systems upon which the services are dependent be unable to function.

The totalisator services provided by United Tote Company and AmTote
International, Inc. are the most critical to our operations. Totalisator
services include the calculation of amounts wagered and owed to winning ticket
holders. United Tote developed a plan to bring all systems provided to us into
Year 2000 compliance during 1998. United Tote and the Company initiated this
plan during the second quarter of 1998 by undertaking a comprehensive system
hardware and software upgrade that is Year 2000 compliant. We successfully
installed the systems in three phases with the last phase having been completed
in October 1998. All on-track, intertrack wagering and hub operations are Year
2000 compliant. We will continue to work closely with United Tote to assure that
future releases and upgrades are Year 2000 compliant by including this provision
as a condition in contracts for future services. Based on our evaluation, we
believe that AmTote, which is utilized by Calder Race Course, is on schedule to
be Year 2000 compliant by the fourth quarter of 1999.

The video services provided by an outside vendor are also important to our
operations. Video services include the capture, production and distribution of
the television signal for distribution to customers located on our premises and
to customers located at remote outlets throughout the nation. We are working
closely with the vendor to ensure the software applications that provide the
graphical enhancements and other distinguishing features to the televised signal
for Churchill Downs racetrack and Hoosier Park are Year 2000 compliant. The
graphical software was upgraded during the second quarter of 1999 to a Year 2000
compliant version of the application.

We purchase data and statistical information from Equibase for resale to the
public. This information is an essential element of our product and is included
in printed material made available to our customers to assist in their wagering
decisions. Equibase has implemented a Year 2000 remediation plan which is
expected to be completed by the third quarter of 1999.

A variety of other smaller and less critical technology service providers are
involved with our product. We have received assurance letters from a majority of
these suppliers and will continue to work to receive assurances from those
remaining.

Because of the nature of our business and its dependence upon key technology
services provided by third parties, we require that all new software and
technology services are Year 2000 compliant. This requirement includes patches,
upgrades and fixes to existing technology services.

In the event that any of our third party service providers do not successfully
and timely achieve Year 2000 compliance, and we are unable to replace them with
alternate service providers, it could result in a delay in providing our core
live racing and simulcasting products to our customers and have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

-22-
Industry-wide Issues

Because we derive a significant portion of our revenues from customers at other
racing organizations that are confronted with the same technological issues,
including totalisator, video and statistical information services, we have been
actively participating in an industry-wide assessment and remedial efforts to
address the Year 2000 issue.

Feedback Control Systems

A variety of the newer control and regulating systems are date sensitive.
Environmental control systems, elevator/escalator systems, fire control and
security systems utilize date-sensitive software/embedded chip technology for
correct operation. We have systems that perform each of these functions, and we
are identifying if any of these systems employ technology that may not be Year
2000 compliant. We will work closely with manufacturers of these products to
develop a remedial plan to assure Year 2000 compliance if any problems are
identified.

Cost and Contingency Planning

To date, the total cost is estimated to be less than $100,000 to remediate Year
2000 compliance issues. Our management believes that any future costs to
remediate Year 2000 compliance issues will not be material to our financial
position or results of operations.

We are currently evaluating our most reasonably likely worst-case Year 2000
scenario and are also developing contingency plans as part of our efforts to
identify and correct Year 2000 issues affecting our owned systems as well as
issues involving third party service providers. We intend to complete both the
evaluation of a worst-case Year 2000 scenario and contingency planning in the
third quarter of 1999.

Due to our recent acquisition of Calder Race Course, we will continue to assess
the status of the Company's Year 2000 compliance in regards to the factors
mentioned above and we expect to complete this evaluation in the third quarter.

Subsequent Events

On July 20, 1999, we issued 2,300,000 shares of common stock at a price of $29
per share. The total proceeds before offering expenses were $63.2 million, and
were used for the repayment of bank borrowings.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our major market risk exposure is primarily due to possible
fluctuations in interest rates as they relate to our variable
rate debt. We do not enter into derivative financial investments
for trading or speculation purposes. As a result, we believe
that our market risk exposure is not material to our
financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
