'Churchill Downs' the magazine to be launched

By: SPORTS NETWORK

Louisville, KY (SportsNetwork.com) - Churchill Downs Inc. (CDI) announced Thursday the creation of "Churchill Downs" a new print and online publication.

"All of us at Churchill Downs hope this magazine offers a unique and interesting perspective on horse racing," said Bill Carstanjen, CDI's Chief Executive Officer. "In today's quick news cycle, sometimes the most interesting aspects of this historic sport are overlooked. We believe fans of thoroughbred racing will appreciate and enjoy a publication that offers the 'inside scoop' on all aspects of horse racing."

The first edition of the self-titled magazine will debut on April 16. It focuses on the track's central event, the Kentucky Derby, as well as those people involved in thoroughbred racing.

Blue Equity Publishing, LLC. will produce the publication and two additional issues are planned for later this year.
