Churchill Downs Looks to Online Poker

The famous Kentucky Derby may soon be an online poker competitor, thanks to loopholes in the UIGEA and the entrepreneurial spirit of the President and CEO of Churchill Downs racetrack, the owner of the Derby brand. CEO Bob Evans, who attended a small business luncheon, spoke of entrepreneurs being smart to look for ways to offer new products in existing markets, and the online horse betting of the new TwinSpires site could be just the spot for online poker.
