ITEM 8.        FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTAL DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Churchill Downs Incorporated

We have audited the accompanying  consolidated balance sheets of Churchill Downs
Incorporated  and  subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995,  December 31, 1994, and
December  31,  1993  and  the  related  consolidated   statements  of  earnings,
stockholders'  equity and cash flows, and the consolidated  financial  statement
schedule,  for the years ended December 31, 1995, December 31, 1994, and for the
eleven month  period  ended  December 31, 1993 as listed in Item 14 of this Form
10-K. These consolidated  financial  statements and financial statement schedule
are the  responsibility  of  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express an
opinion on these financial  statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the consolidated  financial position of Churchill Downs
Incorporated  and  subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995,  December 31, 1994, and
December  31,  1993 and the results of their  operations  and cash flows for the
years ended  December  31, 1995,  December  31,  1994,  and for the eleven month
period ended December 31, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted  accounting
principles.  In addition,  in our opinion, the consolidated  financial statement
schedule  referred to above,  when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements  taken as a whole,  present  fairly  in all  material  respects,  the
information  required to be included  therein for the years ended  December  31,
1995,  December  31, 1994,  and for the eleven  month period ended  December 31,
1993.

As discussed in Note 3 to the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the Company
changed its method of accounting for income taxes as of February 1, 1993.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

        BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

        Churchill Downs  Incorporated  (the "Company")  conducts Spring and Fall
        live  race  meetings  for   Thoroughbred   horses  and  participates  in
        intertrack  and interstate  simulcast  wagering as a host track and as a
        receiving  track in  Kentucky.  In  Indiana,  the  Company,  through its
        subsidiary, Hoosier Park L.P. (Hoosier Park), conducts live Thoroughbred
        and Standardbred  race meetings and participates in simulcast  wagering.
        Both its Kentucky and Indiana  operations  are subject to  regulation by
        the racing commissions of the respective states.

        The accompanying  consolidated financial statements include the accounts
        of  the  Company,   its  wholly  owned  subsidiaries,   Churchill  Downs
        Management  Company  and  Anderson  Park  Inc.  and its  majority  owned
        subsidiary, Hoosier Park, L.P. All significant intercompany balances and
        transactions have been eliminated.

        The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with generally
        accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
        assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities
        and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at the dates of the
        financial  statements and the reported  amounts of revenues and expenses
        during the  reporting  periods.  Actual  results could differ from those
        estimates.

        A SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOLLOWS:

        CASH  EQUIVALENTS:

        The Company  considers  investments  with  original  maturities of three
        months or less to be cash  equivalents.  The Company  has,  from time to
        time, had cash in bank in excess of federally insured limits.

        RACING PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:

        Racing  plant  and  equipment  are  recorded  at cost.  Depreciation  is
        provided by  accelerated  and  straight-line  methods over the estimated
        useful lives of the related assets.

        DEFERRED REVENUE:

        Deferred revenue includes advance sales of tickets.

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

        RECLASSIFICATION:

        Certain  prior year accounts  have been  reclassified  to conform to the
        current year presentation.

        EARNINGS PER SHARE:

        Earnings  per share has been  computed by dividing  net  earnings by the
        weighted  average number of common shares and  equivalents  outstanding.
        Common share  equivalents  included in the computation  represent shares
        issuable  upon  assumed  exercise  of stock  options  which would have a
        dilutive effect on earnings.  Such equivalents had no material effect on
        the computation for the periods ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.

        IMPACT OF REPORTING PERIOD:

        In 1993,  the  Company  changed  to a calendar  year from a fiscal  year
        ending  January 31. The change of fiscal year  resulted in a  transition
        period of eleven months which began  February 1, 1993 and ended December
        31, 1993.

        Depreciation  expense was  $3,817,511 and $3,062,978 for the years ended
        December 31, 1995 and 1994 and  $2,387,618  for the eleven  months ended
        December 31, 1993.

3.      INCOME TAXES:

        The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
        No. 109,  ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES,  as of February 1, 1993. SFAS No.
        109 changes the method of accounting  for income taxes from the deferred
        to the liability  method.  Under the liability  method,  deferred income
        taxes at the end of each period are  determined by using the enacted tax
        rates  for the  years in which  the  taxes  are  expected  to be paid or
        recovered. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce
        deferred tax assets to the amount  expected to be  recovered.  Under the
        deferred  method,  deferred income taxes were  recognized  using the tax
        rates in effect when the tax was first recorded.

        The  adoption  of SFAS No. 109  required  revaluation  of the  Company's
        deferred  income  tax  liability  to  reflect  the  provisions  of  this
        statement.  The cumulative  effect of this change as of February 1, 1993
        increased net earnings for the eleven months ended  December 31, 1993 by
        approximately   $61,000,   or  $.01  per  share.  Prior  year  financial
        statements were not restated for this accounting change.

        At December 31, 1995,  the Company has operating  loss carry forwards of
        approximately  $3,000,000 for Indiana State income tax purposes expiring
        from 2009 through 2010.  Based on the weight of evidence,  both negative
        and positive,  including the lack of historical earnings in the state of
        Indiana,  the Company has provided a valuation  allowance  because it is
        unable to assert that it is more likely than not to realize some portion
        or all of the  deferred  tax asset  attributable  to the  Indiana  State
        income tax net operating loss carry forwards.

        Significant   components  of  the  Company's  deferred  tax  assets  and
        liabilities at December 31 follows:

4.      EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

        The  Company  has a  profit-sharing  plan  which  covers  all  full-time
        employees  with one year or more of  service.  The  Company  will  match
        contributions  made by the  employee up to 2% of the  employee's  annual
        compensation and contribute a discretionary  amount determined  annually
        by the  Board of  Directors.  The cost of the plan for the  years  ended

        December 31, 1993 was $280,000, $276,000, and $258,000, respectively.

        The estimated  present  value of future  payments  under a  supplemental
        benefit plan is charged to expense over the period of active  employment
        of the  employees  covered  under the plan.  Supplemental  benefit  plan
        expense for the year ended December 31, 1995,  December 31, 1994 and the
        eleven  months  ended  December  31,  1993 were  $57,000,  $49,000,  and
        $44,000, respectively.

        The  Company  is  a  member  of  a   noncontributory   defined   benefit
        multi-employer  retirement  plan  for  all  members  of the  Pari-mutuel
        Clerk's Union of Kentucky.  Contributions  are made in  accordance  with
        negotiated labor  contracts.  Retirement plan expense for the year ended

        December 31, 1993 were$193,774,$190,626 and $179,770,  respectively. The
        Company's policy is to fund this expense as accrued.

5.      NOTES PAYABLE:

        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  December  31,  1995 was
        6.85%.  Borrowings  are  payable on  January  31,  1997.  There was $6.0
        million outstanding at December 31, 1995 and $7.5 million outstanding at
        December 31, 1994. No borrowings were outstanding at December 31, 1993.

        The  Company  also has two  non-interest  bearing  notes  payable in the
        aggregate  face  amount  of  $900,000  relating  to the  purchase  of an
        intertrack  wagering  license  from  the  former  owners  of the  Sports
        Spectrum  property.  Interest  has been  imputed at 8%. At December  31,
        1995,  the balance of these  notes was  $420,000  net of an  unamortized
        discount of $152,000.  The notes require  aggregate  annual  payments of
        $110,000 from September,  1993. As described in the contingency footnote
        (Note 10) any remediation costs for environmental  cleanup can be offset
        against any amounts due under these notes payable.

        Maturities  of all notes payable for the five years  following  December
        31, 1995 follow:

        for key employees  was approved.  Options may be granted on no more than
        200,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

        The plan provides for granting of options to buy shares of the Company's
        common stock  intended  either to qualify as "incentive  stock  options"
        under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or "nonqualified  stock options"
        not intended to so qualify.  In  accordance  with the plan,  options are
        exercisable over a 10 year period from date of grant.

        All incentive  stock  options and  nonqualified  stock  options  granted
        during 1995 and 1994 were granted at the closing  high bid  quotation on
        the business day  immediately  preceding the date of grant.  In November
        1993, nonqualified stock options were granted at $46.00, the February 1,
        1993 market price.  The excess of the current  market value of the stock
        at the date of grant over the  option  price has been  accounted  for as
        deferred  compensation  and is being  expensed over the vesting  period,
        three years.

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

        Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 123,  "Accounting  for
        Stock-Based  Compensation",  is effective for the  Company's  year ended
        December 31, 1996. This statement  introduces a fair-value  based method
        of accounting for stock-based  compensation,  but allows  companies that
        choose  not to adopt the new  rules to  continue  to apply the  existing
        accounting rules contained in Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 25
        "Accounting For Stock Issued to Employees", provided proforma net income
        and earnings per share  disclosures  are provided  under the new method.
        Management has not decided whether it will adopt FASB No. 123 to compute
        compensation  charges, but does not believe that the statement will have
        a material effect on the Company's  consolidated  financial  position or
        the consolidated results of its operations.

8.      FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        Financial   Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")  Statement  No.  107,
        "Disclosure  about Fair Value of Financial  Instruments," is a part of a
        continuing  process  by the FASB to  improve  information  on  financial
        instruments.  The  following  methods and  assumptions  were used by the
        Company in  estimating  its fair value  disclosures  for such  financial
        instruments as defined by the Statement:

        CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

        The  carrying  amount  reported in the  balance  sheet for cash and cash
        equivalents approximates its fair value.

        LONG-TERM DEBT

        The  carrying  amounts  of the  Company's  borrowings  under its line of
        credit  agreements  and other  long-term debt  approximates  fair value,
        based upon current interest rates.

9.      ACQUISITION

        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.

10.     CONTINGENCIES

        On January 22, 1992, the company  acquired  certain assets of Louisville
        Downs,  Incorporated 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
        December 31, 1995.  The  remediation  has also been  approved to receive
        funds  up  to  $995,000  from  the  Kentucky   Petroleum   Storage  Tank
        Environmental  Assurance Fund (the "Fund"). In addition, the Company may
        offset any additional  costs against  additional  amounts payable to the
        sellers for the acquisition of the property.

        It is not  anticipated  that the Company  will have any  liability  as a
        result  of  compliance  with  environmental  laws  with  respect  to the
        property.  Compliance with environmental laws has not otherwise affected
        development  and operation the property and the Company is not otherwise
        subject to any material  compliance  costs in connection with federal or
        state environmental laws.

11.     AGREEMENT TO SELL 10% OF HOOSIER PARK

        In  December  1995,  the Company  entered  into a  Partnership  Interest
        Purchase Agreement with Conseco HPLP, L.L.C. ("Conseco") for the sale of
        10% of the  Company's  partnership  interest  in  HPLP to  Conseco.  The
        purchase price for the 10% partnership interest will be $218,000 and the
        acquisition  of a 10%  interest in the debt owed by HPLP to CDMC at face
        value of debt at the date of the closing (approximately $2,530,000). The
        purchase  is  subject  to the  approval  of  the  Indiana  Horse  Racing
        Commission.  Following the purchase, Conseco and Pegasus will be limited
        partners  of HPLP and  Anderson  will  continue  to be the sole  general
        partner of HPLP.  Such a sale is not  anticipated  to have any  material
        effect on operations in 1996.

        From the date of the closing  through  December 31,  1998,  Conseco will
        have an option to purchase from Anderson an additional  47%  partnership
        interest  in HPLP.  The  purchase  price of the  additional  partnership
        interest will be $22,156,000 of which  approximately  $6,222,000 will be
        allocated to the purchase of the partnership  interest and approximately
        $15,934,000 will be allocated to the acquisition of debt owed by HPLP to
        CDMC.  This  purchase  is also  subject  to the  approval  of the  IHRC.
        Following  this  purchase,  Conseco will be the sole general  partner of
        HPLP,  Anderson and Pegasus will be limited  partners of HPLP. CDMC will
        continue to have a long-term  management agreement with HPLP pursuant to
        which CDMC has operational control of the day-to-day  affairs of Hoosier
        Park and its related simulcast operations.
