YouBet.com To Offer Kentucky Derby

The owner of one of America’s premier horseracing venues, Churchill Downs Incorporated, has announced that advance-deposit wagering services TwinSpires.com and YouBet.com will offer its feed for its spring meets.

Churchill Downs revealed that wagering would be available from its opening day this week until the close of the iconic Louisville course’s spring meet on July 5.

“Taking care of our customers and making it convenient for them to access our content are among the top priorities of Churchill Downs,” said Kevin Flanery, Senior Vice-President for Churchill Downs.

“Today’s announcement brings us closer to those goals. We are pleased that our fans will have easy access to Churchill Downs’ content from some of the nation’s most popular advance-deposit wagering platforms including our own TwinSpires.com, which offers innovations such as TwinSpires.tv and superior wagering tools through BRIS.

“We hope our customers join us for an outstanding season of racing under the twin spires and enjoy wagering on the quality product that we will provide.”

Churchill Downs has conducted thoroughbred racing and presented one of America’s greatest races, the Kentucky Derby, since 1875. The 135th running of the Kentucky Derby will take place on May 2 while the track is also scheduled to host the Breeders’ Cup World Championships for a record seventh time on November 5 and 6.

“We are very excited to offer the first leg of the Triple Crown, the most prestigious event in all of horse racing, as content for our customers,” said Michael Brodsky, Chief Executive Officer for YouBet.com.

“The Churchill Downs spring meet, and especially the Kentucky Derby, is a perfect complement to the abundance of global content YouBet.com has added this year alone.”
