Churchill Downs Gets September Racing

The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission voted Tuesday to give Churchill Downs in Louisville a third live racing meet next September. The September schedule will be added to Churchill's traditional spring and fall meets. The 12 additional dates will be Churchill's first all-September meet since 1890. The September dates have traditionally gone to Turfway Park. Besides losing September racing, Turfway Park in suburban Florence will limit its February schedule.
