Churchill Downs relocates TwinSpires HQ to Louisville

Churchill Downs Incorporated (CDI) will relocate its online wagering operation TwinSpires.com from California to Louisville, the company said Tuesday.

TwinSpires is the official mobile betting partner of Churchill Downs Race Track, the Kentucky Derby and Breeders Cup. Its platform offers wagering on Thoroughbred, Harness and Quarter Horse races.

“Technology, specifically mobile, is the equine industry’s fastest growing sector, and Churchill Downs is proud to pioneer the innovation and growth that’s taking place,” CDI chief executive officer Bill Carstanjen said. “Relocating the TwinSpires business to Louisville would not be possible without the leadership of Gov. Bevin and the work he has done to make Kentucky more business-friendly.”

The company will invest $2.2 million in expanding its existing headquarters in Louisville by 15,000 square feet to accommodate TwinSpires.
