            1.  Because  of  the  seasonal  nature  of the  Company's  business,
revenues and operating results for any interim quarter are not indicative of the
revenues and operating  results for the year and are not necessarily  comparable
with  results for the  corresponding  period of the previous  year.  The Company
normally earns a substantial  portion of its net income in the second quarter of
each year during which the Kentucky Derby is run on the first Saturday in May.

            2. The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance
with the  requirements  of Form 10-Q and  consequently do not include all of the
disclosures  normally required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles or
those  normally made in the Company's  annual report on Form 10-K.  Accordingly,
the  reader of this Form 10-Q may wish to refer to the  Company's  Form 10-K for
the year ended  December  31, 1994 for  further  information.  The  accompanying
financial  statements  have been  prepared in accordance  with the  registrant's
customary  accounting  practices  and have not been  audited.  In the opinion of
management,   all  adjustments   necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  of  this
information  have been made and all such  adjustments are of a normal  recurring
nature.

            3. On January 26, 1994 the Company  purchased  Anderson  Park,  Inc.
("API") for approximately  $1,950,000.  API owned an Indiana Standardbred racing
license and was in the process of  constructing  a racing  facility in Anderson,
Indiana.  Subsequently,  the facility was completed and,  contemporaneously with
the  commencement  of operations on September 1, 1994 the net assets of API were
contributed to a newly formed  partnership,  Hoosier Park, L.P. in return for an
87% general partnership interest.

            4. The Company has an unsecured $20,000,000 bank line of credit with
various options for the interest rate, none of which are greater than the bank's
prime rate.  The rate in effect at September 30, 1995 was 6.85%.  Borrowings are
payable on January 31, 1997. There was $6.0 million outstanding at September 30,
1995 and September 30, 1994.

            5. On January 22,  1992,  the  Company  acquired  certain  assets of
Louisville Downs for $5,000,000.  In conjunction with this purchase, the Company
withheld  $1,000,000  from the amount due to the sellers to offset certain costs
related  to the  remediation  of  environmental  contamination  associated  with
underground storage tanks at the site.  Substantially all of the $1,000,000 hold
back  has been  utilized  as of  September  30,  1995.  The  Kentucky  Petroleum
Underground  Storage Tank  Assurance  Fund has approved the  remediation  as one
qualifying  for  assistance  from the  fund,  thereby  making  additional  funds
available from that service.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

            For many years,  the Company has conducted live Spring and Fall race
meetings for  Thoroughbred  horses in Kentucky.  In 1988,  the Company  began to
participate in intertrack simulcasting as a host track for all of its live races
except  those  run on  Kentucky  Derby  Day.  In  1989,  the  Company  commenced
operations as a receiving  track for intertrack  simulcasting.  During  November
1991, the Company began  interstate  simulcasting for all of the live races with
the receiving locations participating in the Company's mutuel pool. The Kentucky
Derby and Kentucky Oaks, which are run on the first weekend in May of each year,
continue to be the Company's  outstanding  attractions.  In 1995,  Derby weekend
accounted for approximately 28% of total on-track  pari-mutuel  wagering and 32%
of total on-track attendance,  for the 1995 Spring Meet. For the first time, the
Derby day races were  simulcast  in state.  In July 1994,  the Company  began to
participate  in whole card  simulcasting,  whereby the Company  began  importing
whole race cards or  programs  from host  tracks  located  outside the state for
pari-mutuel  wagering purposes.  Whole card simulcasting has created a major new
wagering opportunity for patrons of the Company in both Kentucky and Indiana.

            The  Company's  principal  sources  of income are  commissions  from
on-track   pari-mutuel  wagers,   commissions  from  intertrack  and  fees  from
interstate  simulcast  wagers,  admissions and seating,  concession  commissions
(primarily for the sale of food and beverages),  and license,  rights, broadcast
and  sponsorship  fees.  The Company's  primary  source of income is pari-mutuel
wagering.  The Company retains the following amounts on specific revenue streams
as a percentage of handle:
                                             KENTUCKY      INDIANA
      On-track pari-mutuel wagers                 15%          19%
      Intertrack host                              9%           --
      Interstate/simulcast host                    5%           2%
      Intertrack/simulcast receiving               7%          18%

            In Kentucky,  licenses to conduct  Thoroughbred race meetings and to
participate  in  simulcasting  are  approved  annually  by the  Kentucky  Racing
Commission  based upon  applications  submitted by the  racetracks  in Kentucky,
including the Company.  Based on gross figures for on-track pari-mutuel wagering
and attendance, the company is the leading thoroughbred racetrack in Kentucky.

            In Indiana,  licenses to conduct live  Standardbred and Thoroughbred
race meetings and to participate in  simulcasting  are approved  annually by the
Indiana  Horse  Racing  Commission  based  upon  applications  submitted  by the
Company.  Currently,  the Company is the only  facility  in Indiana  licensed to
conduct live  Standardbred or  Thoroughbred  race meetings and to participate in
simulcasting.

            CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION (continued)


            In Kentucky,  the company has been granted a license to conduct live
racing  during the period from April 29,  1995  through  July 4, 1995,  and from
October  29,  1995  through  November  25,  1995,  for a total of 74 racing days
compared to 73 racing  days in 1994.  In Indiana,  the  Company  commenced  live
racing on  September 1, 1994 and  conducted  live racing 54 days during the year
ended December 31, 1994. For 1995, the Company has received a license to conduct
live racing for a total of 146 racing days,  including 104 days of  Standardbred
racing from April 1, 1995 through August 20, 1995,  and 42 days of  Thoroughbred
racing from September 1, 1995 through October 28, 1995.

            The  Company  operated  two live  racing  facilities  and  conducted
simulcast  wagering  at four  locations  during  the  nine  month  period  ended
September 30, 1995.  The Company began its operations in Indiana on September 1,
1994. The chart below summarizes the results of these operations.

            CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION (continued)

            The number of receiving  days is  increasing  because of  increasing
acceptance of  simulcasting  by the horse  industry and patrons.  For 1995,  the
Company has been granted a license as a receiving track for any and all possible
dates from January 1 through December 31 and intends to receive  simulcasting on
all  possible  days.  With the advent of whole card  simulcasting,  the  Company
conducts  interstate  simulcasting  virtually  year  around on  multiple  racing
programs  each day from around the nation.  An increase in the number of days is
expected to enhance operating results.

            Churchill  Downs,  through its  subsidiary,  Hoosier Park,  L.P., is
majority owner and operator of Indiana's  only  pari-mutuel  racetrack,  Hoosier
Park at  Anderson.  Start-up  costs  incurred  in Indiana  during the first nine
months of 1995  include  improvements  to Hoosier  Park in  anticipation  of the
track's inaugural  Thoroughbred  meet this Fall.  Hoosier Park has conducted two
Harness race meets, as well as simulcast wagering, during its first full year of
operation.  Since  January,  the  Company  also has  opened  off-track  wagering
facilities  in  Merrillville  and Fort  Wayne,  Indiana.  A third  facility,  in
downtown  Indianapolis  opened October 25, 1995.  Although the Company may apply
for a  fourth  location,  the  license  for  a  fourth  Indiana  site  has  been
surrendered to the Indiana Horse Racing Commission.

            Because  the  business  of the  Company is  seasonal,  the number of
persons  employed will vary throughout the year.  Approximately  225 individuals
are employed on a permanent year-round basis. During the live race meetings,  as
many as 2,100 persons are employed.

            Expenses  resulting  from the first  full year of  operation  of the
Sports  Spectrum  training  center,  a slight decline in profit margins due to a
shift from wagering on live racing to interstate  simulcast  wagering,  start-up
costs and delays in opening  the  Company's  off-track  wagering  facilities  in
Indiana and lower than expected profits from operations in Indiana have impacted
year to date  net  income.  In  addition,  Churchill  Downs  will  not  host the
Breeders' Cup this November as it did in 1994.

            CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION (continued)

COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 TO 1994

            Gross pari-mutuel revenue during the nine months ended September 30,
1995 increased $18,253,778. The Company's subsidiary Hoosier Park L.P. generated
80 percent,  or $13,585,798  of the increase in  pari-mutuel  revenue which when
combined with  admissions,  concessions,  programs,  and other revenue  totalled
$15,417,933 in increased revenues.  This is largely due to the live Standardbred
race  meet  which  ran  April  1,  1995  through  August  20,  1995 and the live
Thoroughbred  meet which began August 26 and continued  through October 28, 1995
at Hoosier Park in Anderson,  Indiana.  This facility  opened  September 1, 1994
with live Standardbred racing for 54 days.  Beginning January 1, 1995 at Hoosier
Park,  January 25 in  Merrillville,  Indiana and April 26 in Ft. Wayne,  Indiana
whole  card  simulcasting  was  conducted  for a total  of 542  operating  days.
Simulcasting  has been well  received in Indiana with an average daily handle of
$116,323.

            The  advent of whole  card  simulcasting  in the  state of  Kentucky
helped increase intertrack/simulcast receiving revenue by $2,459,000. Whole card
simulcasting  was also largely  responsible  for the increase in program revenue
due to 2 or more programs and racing forms being sold per day. Revenues from the
Derby Expansion Area, referred to as Marquee Village, were up 20% largely due to
the addition of a covered  seating area near the racetrack's  first turn.  Other
income  increased  primarily  due to income from stall  rental.  The backside of
Churchill Downs  racetrack  facility was closed during the first quarter of 1994
for maintenance and repair for the first time in several years.

            CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION (continued)

            Direct meeting expenses increased  $16,854,160 during the nine month
period.  This increase is primarily due to the live and simulcasting  operations
at Hoosier  Park  combined  with the opening of the  Merrillville  and Ft. Wayne
off-track wagering facilities.  The largest single increase in meet expenses are
the higher purses which are a direct result of increased  handle from whole card
simulcasting  in Kentucky  and  Indiana.  Purse  expense  varies  directly  with
pari-mutuel  revenues and is calculated  as a percentage of the related  revenue
and may change from year to year  pursuant  to  contract or statute.  Whole card
simulcasting  and Hoosier Park  operations  were also primarily  responsible for
increased   wages,   advertising   and  marketing,   audio,   video  and  signal
distribution, program sales and other. Wages and contract labor increased due to
additional  days and hours of operation  related to whole card  simulcasting  at
Sports  Spectrum and Hoosier Park.  The simulcast host fee is the amount paid to
the host track in exchange for receiving  the tracks races.  This new expense is
based on handle,  and is  directly  related  to the $14.8  million  increase  in
simulcasting  revenue.  Other meet expense rose by  $654,804,  primarily  due to
expenses at the Indiana operations.

          Selling, general and administrative expenses rose  $3,571,418.  Wages,
benefits,  payroll taxes and contract labor were higher primarily due to Hoosier
Park and  personnel  additions  principally  related to the growth in  simulcast
operations.  Depreciation  and  insurance  increases  are due  primarily  to the
addition of the Hoosier Park facility. Marketing and community relations expense
has increased due to the extensive  promotion efforts  surrounding the Dan Patch
Invitational,  the  feature  race of Hoosier  Park's  Standardbred  meet and the
introduction  of Indiana's  first  Thoroughbred  meet,  featuring  the inaugural
Indiana Derby. The Company also incurred various  marketing  expenses related to
the opening of the downtown Indianapolis off-track wagering facility.  Taxes and
license fees have  increased  primarily  due to property  taxes at Hoosier Park.
Professional  fees are up $197,393 which is primarily  attributable to legal and
accounting  expenses  incurred at Hoosier  Park. In 1994,  business  development
expenses  were  principally  related to the  Company's  unsuccessful  efforts to
obtain a racing license in Virginia.

            Other  income   decreased  by  $37,675  due  to  reduced  income  on
investments  resulting from lower average invested cash requirements  associated
with the  construction  of  Hoosier  Park  and the  Merrillville  and Ft.  Wayne
simulcast  facilities.  Interest  expense  increased  in  1995  as a  result  of
borrowing  against the Company's  line of credit after normal cash reserves were

COMPARISON  OF THE THREE  MONTHS  ENDED  SEPTEMBER  30, 1995 TO THE THREE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994:

            Gross revenues from operations increased $5.7 million due largely to
a full quarter of Indiana  operations.  Hoosier Park and its off-track  wagering
facilities generated a total of $6.6 million in revenue in the third quarter, an
increase  of $5.1  million  for the  period.  Likewise,  activity  at the Sports
Spectrum in Louisville  increased by $600,000 for the quarter  compared to prior
year.

            Operating  expenses increased $4.8 million due primarily to wages at
the Indiana  operations coupled with higher purses and simulcast host fees, both
of which are  directly  related to  pari-mutuel  revenue.  These three  expenses
totalled $3.7 million of the increase during the quarter.
Selling, and  general  administrative costs increased $1.5 million primarily due
to  the  expenses  incurred  at  Hoosier  Park,   including   salaries,   taxes,
depreciation and marketing expenses.

COMPARISON  OF THREE MONTHS  ENDED  SEPTEMBER 30, 1995  TO  THREE  MONTHS  ENDED
JUNE 30, 1995

            Revenues and expenses are always lower in the third quarter compared
to the second  quarter due to the  seasonality  of the business.  Gross revenues
from race meetings  totalled $13.2 million,  down $36.1 million primarily due to
no live racing at Churchill  Downs.  Similarly,  direct meet expenses dropped by
$13.9 million  during the quarter.  Meet expenses  remained high as a percent of
revenue due to the continuation of Hoosier Park's live meet throughout the third
quarter.  Hoosier  Park's  margins,  being a first  year  operation,  are not as
favorable as those at Churchill Downs.

                  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION (continued)


            Selling,  general and administrative  costs for the third quarter of
1995 were $4.9  million,  down from $5.9  million in the quarter  ended June 30,
1995.  The  increases  in the  second  quarter  were  largely  due  to  expenses
associated with the Kentucky  Derby,  opening of the Ft. Wayne OTB operation and
the  start of the  Standardbred  meet at  Hoosier  Park.  Selling,  general  and
administrative expenses for the year of $14.9 million are averaging $4.9 million
per quarter.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE BALANCE SHEET-DECEMBER 31, 1994 TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

            The cash balances at September  30,1995 were $1,076,635  higher than
December  31,  1994  due to the  cash  generated  during  50 live  race  days at
Churchill Downs,  principally Kentucky Derby and Oaks weekend, and 126 live race
days at Hoosier Park.

            Accounts receivable at September 30, 1995 were $1,050,756 lower than
on December 31, 1994. All Kentucky Oaks and Derby ticket  receivables,  invoiced
in November and partially  outstanding  at December 31, had been collected as of
September 30, 1995.

            Racing plant & equipment increased during the quarter, primarily due
to continued investment at Hoosier park in preparation for the 1995 Thoroughbred
meet  and  the  opening  of  the  OTB  facilities  in  Ft.  Wayne  and  downtown
Indianapolis,  Indiana.  Hoosier Park held its 1995 harness meet between April 1
and August 20,  1995 and began  running  Indiana's  first  Thoroughbred  meet in
September 1995.

            Accounts  payable and accrued  expenses at  September  30, 1995 were
$2,020,444  higher than at December 31, 1994 due to horsemen's  balances for the
live race  meeting at Hoosier  Park and expenses  related to the  operation  and
construction  of our  Indiana  facilities.  Additionally,  purses  payable  have
increased due to the increase in whole card simulcasting.

            Deferred  revenue is lower at  September  30 due to the  significant
amount of admission and seat revenue that was received in advance and recognized
as income for the May 1995 Kentucky Derby and Oaks.

            At December 31, 1994 the Company had dividends payable of $1,891,759
related to the annual  dividend  payment  payable on January  15, 1995 which was
declared at the November 17, 1994 Board of Directors meeting.

            Income taxes  payable at September  30, 1995 relate to the estimated
expense due for the nine month period.  Due to the  seasonality  of the business
related  to the  Spring  race  meeting,  the  second  quarter of the year is the
highest in earnings and related taxes.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE BALANCE SHEET-SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 TO SEPTEMBER 30,
1995

            Cash balances at September 30, 1995 are $2,725,935  below  September
30, 1994 principally due to payments for construction for the training  facility
at the Sports  Spectrum  property  and the wagering  facilities  in northern and
central Indiana.

            Accounts  receivable at September 30, 1995 were up due to interstate
simulcasting and the increased number of outlets for the spring race meeting.

            Racing plant & equipment  increased  during the year by $12,342,826.
The  Company's  Indiana  facilities  accounted for the majority of the increase.
Capital improvements at the Sports Spectrum training operation plus improvements
at Churchill Downs were responsible for $2.7 million.

            Accounts  payable  and  accrued  expenses  increased  by  $1,386,079
primarily due to the amount payable related to the construction and operation of
our  Indiana  facilities  and the  settlement  liability  related  to whole card
simulcasting.  Deferred  revenue  is down  $2,544,586  to the  advance  sales of
tickets for the 1994 Breeders' Cup Day,  which was held at Churchill  Downs last
year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

            Working  capital for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1995 and
September 30, 1994 is as follows:

Working capital                    $( 6,786,249)        $(10,718,574)
Working capital ratio                  .45 to 1             .42 to 1

            The working  capital  deficiency is primarily a result of nature and
seasonality of the Company's  business.  Cash flows provided by operations  were
$11,737,840  for the nine months ended  September 30, 1995;  $11,399,973 for the
twelve months ended  December,  1994; and  $10,109,400 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1994.  Management  believes cash flows from operations during 1995
and  funds  available  under the  company's  unsecured  line of  credit  will be
sufficient to fund  dividend  payments and  additions  and  improvements  to the
racing  plant and  equipment  which are  expected to be between  $8,000,000  and
$10,000,000.  The primary  capital  improvement in 1995 has been the addition of
Thoroughbred  racing  facilities at Hoosier Park.  Hoosier Park hosted its first
Thoroughbred  race meet for 42 days from  September 1, 1995 through  October 28,
1995.

            Cash flow from operations funded $850,000 of the Anderson Park, Inc.
stock purchase in January 1994.  Similarly,  cash flow from  operations  and, as
necessary,  funds  available under the unsecured line of credit used to fund the
construction  of the Hoosier  Park racing  facility in  Anderson,  Indiana.  The
Company  has funded the  construction  of three  additional  satellite  wagering
facility sites approved by the Indiana Horse Racing  Commission and $3.8 million
to construct  improvements to allow for Thoroughbred racing at Hoosier Park. The
satellite  facilities  at  Merriville  and Ft. Wayne opened in January and April
