                          CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
                 CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
        for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 (continued)
                                   (Unaudited)


1.      Basis of Presentation

        The  accompanying   condensed   consolidated  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
        Churchill Downs  Incorporated's  (the  "Company")  annual report on Form
        10-K. The year end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived
        from audited financial statements,  but does not include all disclosures
        required by generally accepted accounting principles.  Accordingly,  the
        reader of this Form  10-Q may wish to refer to the  Company's  Form 10-K
        for the period  ended  December  31, 1998 for further  information.  The
        accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been
        prepared  in  accordance  with  the  registrant's  customary  accounting
        practices  and have not been  audited.  Certain  prior period  financial
        statement  amounts  have been  reclassified  to conform  to the  current
        period  presentation.  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.

        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  accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements
        reflect a  disproportionate  share of annual net earnings as the Company
        normally  earns a substantial  portion of its net earnings in the second
        quarter of each year during which the Kentucky  Derby and Kentucky  Oaks
        are run.  The  Kentucky  Derby  and  Kentucky  Oaks are run on the first
        weekend in May.

2.      Interest Rate Swaps

        The Company  utilizes  interest rate swap contracts to hedge exposure to
        interest rate  fluctuations on its variable rate debt. The  differential
        between the fixed  interest  rate paid and the  variable  interest  rate
        received  under the interest  rate swap  contracts is  recognized  as an
        adjustment to interest  expense in the period in which the  differential
        occurs.  Differential  amounts  incurred  under the  interest  rate swap
        contracts  but not settled in cash at the end of a reporting  period are
        recorded as receivables  or payables in the balance sheet.  Any gains or
        losses realized on the early termination of interest rate swap contracts
        are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the
        remaining term of the underlying debt instrument.

3.      Long-Term Debt

        On April 23,  1999,  the  Company  increased  its line of credit to $250
        million under a new revolving loan facility through a syndicate of banks
        headed  by its  principal  lender  to meet  working  capital  and  other
        short-term  requirements and to provide funding for  acquisitions.  This
        credit  facility  replaced a $100 million line of credit obtained during
        the third  quarter of 1998.  The interest rate on the borrowing is based
        upon LIBOR plus 75 to 250 additional basis points, which is determined

              for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998
                                   (Unaudited)

3.      Long-Term Debt (cont'd)

        by  certain  Company   financial   ratios.   There  was  $183.0  million
        outstanding  on the line of credit at  September  30,  1999  compared to
        $11.0  million  outstanding  at  December  31,  1998  and  $7.0  million
        outstanding at September 30, 1998 under  previous  lines of credit.  The
        line of credit is  secured  by  substantially  all of the  assets of the
        Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and matures in 2004.

        During  the third  quarter of 1999 we entered  into  interest  rate swap
        contracts  with a major  financial  institution  which have  termination
        dates  through  August 31, 2000. Under  the terms of  the  contracts we
        receive a LIBOR based  variable  interest rate and pay a fixed  interest
        rate of 5.89% and 5.92% on notional amounts  of $35.0 and $70.0 million,
        respectively.  The  variable interest  rate  paid on the  contracts is
        determined  based  on  LIBOR on  the last day of each  month,  which is
        consistent with the variable  rate determination on the underlying debt.

4.      Acquisitions

        On September 10, 1999, the Company  acquired the assets of the Hollywood
        Park Race Track and the Hollywood Park Casino in Inglewood,  California,
        including  approximately  240 acres of land upon which the racetrack and
        casino  are  located,  for a  purchase  price  of  $140.0  million  plus
        approximately  $2.5 million in transaction costs. The Company leases the
        Hollywood  Park  Casino to the seller  under a  ten-year  lease with one
        ten-year  renewal  option.  The lease  provides  for annual rent of $3.0
        million,  subject to adjustment  during the renewal  period.  The entire
        purchase  price of $142.5  million was allocated to the acquired  assets
        and liabilities  based on their fair values on the acquisition date. The
        acquisition  was accounted for by the Company as an asset  purchase and,
        accordingly,  the  financial  position  and  results  of  operations  of
        Hollywood   Park  Race  Track  have  been   included  in  the  Company's
        consolidated  financial  statements  since the date of acquisition.  The
        allocation  of  the  purchase  price  is  preliminary  and  may  require
        adjustment in the Company's future financial statements based on a final
        determination of the fair value of assets assumed in the acquisition.

        On April 23, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding  stock of
        Calder Race Course,  Inc. and Tropical  Park,  Inc. from KE  Acquisition
        Corp.  for a  purchase  price of $86  million  cash plus a  closing  net
        working capital  adjustment of approximately  $2.9 million cash and $0.6
        million in transaction  costs. The purchase  included Calder Race Course
        in Miami and the licenses held by Calder Race Course,  Inc. and Tropical
        Park,  Inc. to conduct  horse racing at Calder Race Course.  Calder Race
        Course, one of four Thoroughbred  tracks in Florida,  offers live racing
        and simulcast-  only days during two consecutive  race meets,  which run
        from late May through early January. The purchase price, plus additional
        costs,  of $89.5  million  was  allocated  to the  acquired  assets  and
        liabilities  based on their fair values on the acquisition date with the
        excess of $48.7  million  being  recorded  as  goodwill,  which is being
        amortized  over 40  years.  The  acquisition  was  accounted  for by the
        Company under the purchase  method of accounting and,  accordingly,  the
        financial position

              CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998

4.      Acquisitions (cont'd)

        and results of operations of Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park,
        Inc.  have  been  included   in  the  Company's  consolidated  financial
        statements since the date of acquisition. The allocation of the purchase
        price is preliminary and may require  adjustment in the Company's future
        financial  statements  based on  a final  determination  of  liabilities
        assumed in the acquisition.

        On April 21, 1998,  the Company  acquired from TVI Corp.  ("TVI") all of
        the  outstanding  stock of Racing  Corporation of America  ("RCA") for a
        purchase price of $22.6 million,  which  includes  transaction  costs of
        $0.6 million. The acquisition was accounted for by the Company under the
        purchase  method  of  accounting  and,  accordingly,  the  results  of
        operations of RCA subsequent to April 20,  1998,  are  included  in  the
        Company's  consolidated  results  of  operations.

        Following  are the  unaudited  pro forma results of operations as if the
        September 10, 1999  acquisition   of  Hollywood Park  Race Track, the
        July 20, 1999 stock issuance, the April 23, 1999  acquisition  of Calder
        Race  Course  and the April 21,  1998 acquisition of RCA had occurred on
        January 1, 1998 (in thousands, except per share and share amounts):

        indicative  of the  operating  results that would have  occurred had the
        transactions  been  consummated  as  of  January  1,  1998,  nor  is  it
        necessarily indicative of future operating results.

4.      Acquisitions (cont'd)

        On January 13,  1999,  the Company  acquired a 60%  interest in Charlson
        Broadcast  Technologies,  LLC  ("CBT")  for  $3.1  million  and  made an
        additional  equity  contribution  to CBT in the amount of $2.3  million.
        CBT's total assets and  liabilities  were $2.1 million and $2.2 million,
        respectively,  on the  date  of  acquisition.  The  purchase  price  was
        allocated to the fair value of net assets  acquired,  with the excess of
        $3.2 million being amortized over periods of 5 and 20 years based on the
        nature of the intangibles acquired. The acquisition was accounted for by
        the Company under the purchase  method of accounting  and,  accordingly,
        the financial  position and results of operations  have been included in
        the  Company's  consolidated  financial  statements  since  the  date of
        acquisition.

        Options to purchase  69,266  shares for the three months and nine months
        ended September 30, 1999 were not included in the computation of diluted
        net earnings per common share because the options'  exercise prices were
        greater than the average market price of the common share.  In addition,
        options to purchase  426,532 shares for the three months ended September
        30, 1998 are  excluded  from the  computation  of diluted  net  earnings
        (loss) per common  share since their effect is  antidilutive  because of
        the net loss for the period.

6.      Segment Information

        The Company has adopted SFAS No. 131  "Disclosures  about Segments of an
        Enterprise and Related  Information." The Company has determined that it
        currently  operates in the following six segments:  (1) Churchill  Downs
        racetrack,   the  Louisville  Sports  Spectrum  simulcast  facility  and
        Churchill  Downs  corporate  expenses (2) Hollywood  Park Race Track (3)
        Calder Race Course (4) Ellis Park  racetrack  and its on-site  simulcast
        facility,  (5) Hoosier Park racetrack and its on-site simulcast facility
        and  the  other  three  Indiana  simulcast   facilities  and  (6)  Other
        operations,  including  Kentucky  Horse  Center,  CBT and the  Company's
        investments  in  various  equity  interests  in the net income of equity
        method  investees,  which are not  material.  Eliminations  include  the
        elimination of management fees and other intersegment transactions.

        Most  of the  Company's  revenues  are  generated  from  commissions  on
        pari-mutuel  wagering at the Company's racetracks and simulcast wagering
        facilities,  plus Indiana riverboat admissions revenue,  simulcast fees,
        admissions and concessions revenue and other sources.

        The accounting  policies of the segments are the same as those described
        in the "Summary of  Significant  Accounting  Policies" in the  Company's
        annual  report to  stockholders  for the year ended  December  31, 1998.
        EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful
        than, net income (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of
        our operating  results of cash flows (as  determined in accordance  with
        GAAP) or as a measure of our liquidity.

                          CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
       ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Information  set  forth  in  this   discussion  and  analysis   contain  various
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934. The Private
Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995 ( the "Act")  provides  certain "safe
harbor"  provisions  for   forward-looking   statements.   All   forward-looking
statements  made in this Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q are made pursuant to the
Act.  These  statements  represent  our judgment  concerning  the future and are
subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual operating results
and financial  condition to differ  materially.  Forward-looking  statements are
typically  identified  by the use of  terms  such as  "may,"  "will,"  "expect,"
"anticipate,"  "estimate,"  and similar  words,  although  some  forward-looking
statements are expressed differently.  Although we believe that the expectations
reflected in such  forward-  looking  statements  are  reasonable we can give no
assurance that such  expectations  will prove to be correct.  Important  factors
that could  cause  actual  results to differ  materially  from our  expectations
include: the impact of competition from alternative gaming (including lotteries,
land-based,  riverboat  and cruise ship  casinos)  in those  markets in which we
operate;  a  substantial  change  in law or  regulations  affecting  our  gaming
activities;  a substantial  change in allocation of live racing days; a decrease
in riverboat  admissions  revenue  from our Indiana  operations;  our  continued
ability to  effectively  compete  for the  country's  top  horses  and  trainers
necessary  to field  high-quality  horse  racing;  our  ability to  execute  our
acquisition  strategy and to complete or successfully  operate planned expansion
projects;  our ability to adequately integrate acquired businesses;  the loss of
our totalisator  companies or their inability to keep their technology  current;
our accountability for environmental  contamination;  Year 2000 computer issues;
the loss of key personnel and the volatility of our stock price.

Overview

We conduct pari-mutuel  wagering on live Thoroughbred,  Standardbred and Quarter
Horse horse races and simulcast signals of races. Additionally,  we offer racing
services through our other interests.

We own and operate the Churchill Downs racetrack in Louisville,  Kentucky, which
has conducted  Thoroughbred  racing since 1875 and is  internationally  known as
home of the Kentucky Derby. We also own and operate Hollywood Park Race Track, a
Thoroughbred racetrack in Inglewood,  California ("Hollywood Park"); Calder Race
Course, a Thoroughbred  racetrack in Miami,  Florida;  Ellis Park Race Course, a
Thoroughbred racetrack in Henderson, Kentucky ("Ellis Park"); and Kentucky Horse
Center, a Thoroughbred training center in Lexington, Kentucky.  Additionally, we
are the majority owner and operator of Hoosier Park in Anderson,  Indiana, which
conducts  Thoroughbred,  Quarter Horse and Standardbred horse racing. We conduct
simulcast  wagering on horse racing in  Louisville,  Kentucky,  and at our three
simulcast  wagering  facilities in  Indianapolis,  Merrillville  and Fort Wayne,
Indiana, as well as at our racetracks.

Because of the  seasonal  timing of our racing  meets,  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.

                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


Our primary  source of revenue is  commissions  on  pari-mutuel  wagering at our
racetracks and simulcast wagering  facilities.  Other sources of revenue include
Indiana riverboat admissions revenue, simulcast fees, admissions and concessions
revenue and other sources.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The  following  summary  shows  intercompany  pari-mutuel  wagering by Churchill
Downs-owned companies.  Pari-mutuel wagering for our five live racing facilities
and four separate  simulcast  wagering  facilities,  which are included in their

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to Nine Months Ended
September  30, 1998

Net Revenues

Net revenues  during the nine months ended  September 30, 1999  increased  $48.8
million (42%) from $116.1 million in 1998 to $164.9 million in 1999. Calder Race
Course  contributed $39.1 million and Hollywood Park contributed $1.1 million to
the first nine months of 1999 net revenues as opposed to none in the prior year.
Churchill Downs racetrack  revenues increased $1.9 million (3%) primarily due to
an increase in  corporate  sponsor  event  ticket  prices,  admissions  and seat
revenue,  concessions,  and program revenue as a result of record  attendance on
Kentucky  Oaks and Kentucky  Derby days.  Hoosier Park revenues  increased  $3.0
million (9%)  primarily due to a $2.1 million  increase in the  riverboat  gross
admissions  subsidy of which a portion  was  required  to be spent on purses and
marketing expenses and a $0.8 million (4%) increase in pari-mutuel  revenue. Net
revenues for Ellis Park for the first nine months of 1999 increased $2.4 million
(15%)  primarily  due to  the  timing  of the  1998  acquisition  and  increased
pari-mutuel  wagering  revenue  during the third  quarter of 1999.  Revenue from
other operations, which include Charlson Broadcast Technologies,  LLC ("CBT")and
Kentucky Horse Center, comprised the remaining $1.3 million of the increase.

Operating Expenses

Operating  expenses  increased $39.9 million (45%) from $88.9 million in 1998 to
$128.8  million in 1999.  Calder Race Course and  Hollywood  Park  incurred 1999
operating expenses of $30.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively,  versus none
in the first nine months of 1998. Churchill Downs racetrack's operating expenses
increased  $1.4 million (3%).  Hoosier Park  operating  expenses  increased $2.4
million (8%) due primarily to increases in purses  payable  consistent  with the
increase  in  pari-mutuel  revenues  and an  increase  in  required  purses  and
marketing  expenses  related to the  riverboat  admissions  subsidy.  Ellis Park
operating  expenses  increased  $2.6 million  (21%) for the first nine months of
1999 as compared to expenses after the  acquisition  date of April,  21 1998 for
the prior year. Other operations accounted for the remaining $1.5 million of the
increase in operating expenses.

Gross Profit

Gross profit  increased $8.9 million from $27.2 million in 1998 to $36.1 million
in 1999.  The increase was  primarily  due to an $8.7 million  increase in gross
profit from Calder Race Course.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling,  general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased by $3.6 million
(41%) from $8.7 million in 1998 to $12.3 million in 1999. Calder Race Course and
Hollywood  Park added  $1.3  million  and $0.2  million,  respectively,  and the
inclusion  of Ellis Park  during  all of 1999  contributed  $0.5  million of the
increase.  SG&A expenses at Churchill  Downs  racetrack  and corporate  expenses
increased $1.1  million(20%) due primarily to increased  corporate  staffing and
compensation expenses reflecting the

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (cont'd)

Company's  strengthened  corporate  services  to meet the needs of new  business
units. Other operations accounted for the remaining $0.5 million of the increase
in SG&A expenses.

Other Income and Expense

Interest  expense  increased  $3.5  million  from $0.7  million  in 1998 to $4.2
million in 1999 primarily as a result of borrowings to finance the  acquisitions
of Calder Race Course,  Hollywood  Park and CBT in 1999 and the  acquisition  of
Ellis Park in April 1998.

Income Tax Provision

Our income tax  provision  increased  by $1.4  million for the nine months ended
September  30, 1999 as compared to September 30, 1998 as a result of an increase
in the  estimated  effective  tax rate  from  38.9% in 1998 to 42.0% in 1999 due
primarily  to  non-deductible  goodwill  amortization  expense  related  to  the
acquisitions of Calder Race Course, CBT and Ellis Park.

Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended
September 30, 1998

Net Revenues

Net revenues  during the three months ended  September 30, 1999 increased  $29.8
million  (89%) from $33.3  million in 1998 to $63.1  million in 1999.  Hollywood
Park and  Calder  Race  Course  contributed  $1.1  million  and  $27.4  million,
respectively,  to the three  months  ended  September  30, 1999 net  revenues as
opposed to none in the prior year.  Hoosier Park revenues increased $0.6 million
(5%) primarily due to a $0.3 million  increase in the riverboat gross admissions
subsidy of which a portion  was  required  to be spent on purses  and  marketing
expenses and a $0.3 million (4%) increase in pari-mutuel revenues.  Net revenues
for Ellis Park for the third quarter of 1999  increased by $0.8 million (5%) due
primarily to increased pari- mutuel  revenues.  Other  operations  represented a
decrease of $0.1 million.

Operating  expenses  increased $23.4 million (77%) from $30.5 million in 1998 to
$53.9  million in 1999.  Calder Race Course and  Hollywood  Park  incurred  1999
operating  expenses of million  $20.5 and $1.7 million  versus none in the third
quarter of 1998.  Churchill Downs racetrack  operating  expenses  increased $0.4
million (4%).  Hoosier Park operating  expenses  increased $0.4 million (3%) due
primarily  to  increased  purse  expenses,   consistent  with  the  increase  in
pari-mutuel revenues.  Ellis Park operating expenses increased $0.4 million (4%)
for the  third  quarter  of 1999  primarily  due to  increased  purse  expenses,
consistent with the increase in pari-mutuel revenues.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $6.4 million from $2.7 million in 1998 to $9.1 million in
1999. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of gross profit from
Calder Race Course.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses  increased by $1.7 million (45%) from $3.8 million in 1998 to $5.5
million in 1999.  Calder Race Course and  Hollywood  Park added $0.8 million and
$0.2 million,  respectively.  SG&A expenses at Churchill  Downs  increased  $0.6
million (29%) due  primarily to increased  corporate  staffing and  compensation
expenses  reflecting the Company's  strengthened  corporate services to meet the
needs of new business units.  Other operations  accounted for the remaining $0.1
million of the increase in SG&A expenses.

Other Income and Expense

Interest  expense  increased  $1.7  million  from $0.2  million  in 1998 to $1.9
million in 1999 primarily as a result of borrowings to finance the  acquisitions
of Hollywood Park, Calder Race Course and CBT in 1999.

Income Tax Provision

Our income tax  provision  increased  by $1.3 million for the three months ended
September  30, 1999 as compared  to the tax benefit at  September  30, 1998 as a
result of an increase in pre-tax earnings of $3.1 million and an increase in the
estimated  effective  tax rate from 39.1% in 1998 to 42.0% in 1999 due primarily
to non-deductible  goodwill  amortization expense related to the acquisitions of
Calder Race Course, CBT and Ellis Park.

Significant Changes in the Balance Sheet September 30, 1999 to December 31, 1998

The net plant and  equipment  increase of $192.5  million  during 1999  included
$188.5 million for the  acquisitions of Hollywood  Park,  Calder Race Course and
CBT. The remaining increase was due to routine capital spending at our operating
units offset by current year depreciation expense.

Intangible  assets increased $53.5 million primarily a result of the addition of
approximately  $52.0 million of goodwill due to the  acquisitions of Calder Race
Course and CBT. In addition,  costs of $2.9 million related to the Company's new
$250  million  revolving  loan  facility  are  included.  These  increases  were
partially offset by current year amortization expense.

Dividends  payable  decreased  $3.7  million at  September  30,  1999 due to the
payment of dividends of $3.7 million (declared in 1998) in first quarter 1999.

                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


Deferred  revenue  decreased $5.3 million at September 30, 1999 primarily due to
the significant  amount of admission and seat revenue that was received prior to
December 31, 1998  recognized  as income in May 1999 for the Kentucky  Derby and
Kentucky Oaks race days.

The  long-term  debt  increase of $172.6  million  was the result of  additional
borrowings  on our  bank  line of  credit  during  1999,  used to fund  the 1999
acquisitions of Hollywood Park, Calder Race Course and CBT.

Deferred  income taxes  increased  by $9.0 million  primarily as a result of the
Calder Race Course acquisition during the second quarter of 1999.

Common stock  increased by $62.7  million  primarily due to $62.1 million in net
proceeds received with the public offering during the third quarter of 1999.

Significant Changes in the Balance Sheet September 30,1999 to September 30, 1998

The net plant and equipment  increase of $191.7 million  included $188.5 million

$250  million  revolving  loan  facility  are  included.  These  increases  were
partially offset by amortization expense.

Accrued  expenses  increased  $12.6  million  primarily  due to a $10.4  million
increase as a result of the Hollywood Park and Calder Race Course acquisitions.

The  long-term  debt  increase of $176.6  million was due  primarily  to line of
credit  borrowings used to fund the acquisitions of Hollywood Park,  Calder Race
Course and CBT.

Deferred  income taxes  increased  by $7.9 million  primarily as a result of the
Calder Race Course acquisition during the second quarter of 1999.

Common stock  increased by $62.7  million  primarily due to $62.1 million in net
proceeds received with the public offering during the third quarter of 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The working  capital  surplus  (deficiency)  was $4.9 and $(7.4) million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Cash flows provided
by operations  were $31.3 and $15.6 million for the nine months ended  September
30, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  The  significant  increases in operating cash
flows were  primarily a result of the current year  acquisition  of Calder Race
Course which  generated  operating  cash flows of  approximately  $8.5  million.
Management  believes cash flows from operations and available  borrowings during
1999 will be sufficient to fund our cash  requirements  for the year,  including
capital improvements.

Cash flows used in investing  activities  were $238.2 and $20.0  million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  Cash used for 1999
business  acquisitions  consisted of $142.5 million net of cash acquired for the
acquisition  of Hollywood  Park during the third  quarter,  $82.4 million net of
cash  acquired  for the  acquisition  of Calder  Race  Course  during the second
quarter and $2.9 million net of cash acquired for the  acquisition of CBT during
the first quarter.  We used $10.3 million for capital spending at our facilities
including $2.0 million for the  construction of a stable area dormitory and $0.6
million for the  renovation of the racing offices at Churchill  Downs  racetrack
facility.  The additional  increase in capital spending from prior year spending
is primarily  the result of the RCA (owns and  operates  Ellis Park and Kentucky
Horse Center), CBT, and Calder Race Course acquisitions.

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $228.5 and $3.3 million for the
nine months ended  September 30, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  We borrowed $267
million on our line of credit  during 1999  primarily to finance the purchase of
Hollywood Park, Calder Race Course and CBT. We received net proceeds of $62.1 in
connection with the July 15, 1999 common stock public offering and an additional
$0.6 million for the issuance of common stock under our stock  purchase plan and
the exercise of stock  options.  Proceeds from the stock offering and operations
were used to repay $95 million on our line of credit.

In April 1999,  our total line of credit was  increased to $250 million  under a
new revolving loan facility,  of which $183 million was outstanding at September
30, 1999. This credit  facility  replaced a $100 million line of credit obtained
during the third quarter of 1998.  The new facility is secured by  substantially
all of our  assets.  This  credit  facility  is  intended  to provide  funds for
acquisitions and to meet working capital and other short-term requirements.  The
new revolving loan facility matures in 2004.

Impact of the Year 2000 Issue

The "Year 2000 Issue" is the result of computer programs that were written using
two digits  rather  than four to define the  applicable  year in  date-dependent
systems.  If our computer  programs with date- sensitive  functions are not Year
2000 compliant,  they may not be able to distinguish the year 2000 from the year
1900.  This  could  result in system  failure  or  miscalculations  leading to a
disruption of business operations.

Some of our mission critical  operations are dependent upon computer systems and
applications.  These systems are either  directly  owned and controlled by us or
are provided  under contract by third party  technology  service  providers.  To
address the Year 2000 issue,  we have  categorized the Year 2000 Issue into four
principal areas.

Systems Owned By the Company

The  first  area is  related  to  systems  that we own.  These  systems  include
application  software and dedicated  hardware that run our core  operations.  In
addition,  there are numerous applications that provide  administrative  support
and management  reporting  functions.  We developed  some of these  applications
internally and purchased other applications.

To address Year 2000 compliance  across this broad category of systems,  we have
broken  each system  down into its most  elemental  pieces in order to study the
hardware including any embedded chip technology/firmware,  the operating systems
and, finally, the applications themselves.

We have  identified  hardware,  including any embedded chip  technology/firmware
that was not Year 2000 compliant and replaced it as part of the routine turnover
of technology capital. The remaining hardware requiring replacement was upgraded
during   the   first   half  of   1999.   All   hardware   and   embedded   chip
technology/firmware that we own are believed to be Year 2000 compliant.

We have  checked all  operating  systems  supporting  specific  applications  by
advancing  the  dates  to  determine  if  the  date  change  impacts   operating
system-level functionality.  As new operating system upgrades are made available
and installed,  periodic testing will continue to assure operating system- level
functionality  is maintained.  In addition,  we have contacted the developers of
the  operating  systems  we  use  and  have  received  assurances  as  to  their
compatibility with the Year 2000 transition.

Application  software compliance with the Year 2000 has been certified through a
combination of technical  consultation with the software developers and testing.
Applications  developed with internal resources have been written with Year 2000
compliance in mind using development tools that are Year 2000 compliant. We have
received  technical  reports  from  third  parties on Year 2000  compliance  for
financial  reporting,  payroll,  operations  control and  reporting and internal
communications applications.
We require Year 2000 compliance on any software upgrades.

       ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


Based on the schedule  outlined  above, we believe our owned  systems are Year
2000  compliant.  We have tested the systems by advancing dates to a majority of
the Year 2000 critical dates without failure. However, there can be no assurance
that unforeseen difficulties will not arise.

Technology Services Provided to the Company Under Contract By Third Parties

The second  area is  services  provided  to us by third  parties.  Many of these
services  are  mission  critical  and could  materially  impact us should the
systems upon which the services are dependent be unable to function.

The totalisator services provided by United Tote Company,  AmTote International,
Inc., and Autotote are the most critical to our operations. Totalisator services
include the  calculation of amounts  wagered and owed to winning ticket holders.
United Tote developed a plan to bring all systems  provided to us into Year 2000
compliance  during 1998.  United Tote and the Company initiated this plan during
the second quarter of 1998 by undertaking a  comprehensive  system  hardware and
software  upgrade that is Year 2000  compliant.  We  successfully  installed the
upgrades in three  phases with the last phase  having been  completed in October
1998.  All  on-track,  intertrack  wagering  and hub  operations  are Year  2000
compliant.  We will  continue  to work  closely  with United Tote to assure that
future releases and upgrades are Year 2000 compliant by including this provision
as a condition  in  contracts  for future  services.  We have also  successfully
participated  in Year 2000 tests with  AmTote and  Autotote.  These  vendors are
utilized by Calder Race Course and Hollywood Park, respectively.
Results of these tests have confirmed that they are Year 2000 compliant.

The  video  services provided to our racetracks  by Spector Entertainment Group,
Inc. and CBT  are also  important to our operations.  Video services include the
capture, production  and  distribution of the television signal for distribution
to customers located on our premises and to customers located at remote  outlets
throughout the nation. We have  worked closely with Spector Entertainment Group,
Inc. and CBT to  ensure the  software applications that  provide  the  graphical
enhancements and other distinguishing features to the televised  signal are Year
2000 compliant.

We purchase  data and  statistical  information  from Equibase  Corporation  for
resale to the public.  This  information is an essential  element of our product
and is included in printed material made available to our customers to assist in
their wagering decisions.  Equibase  Corporation advised us, in writing that all
of their data systems have been certified as Year 2000 compliant.

A variety of other smaller and less critical  technology  service  providers are
involved with our product. We have received assurance letters from a majority of
these  suppliers  and will  continue  to work to receive  assurances  from those
remaining.

       ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


Because of the nature of our business  and its  dependence  upon key  technology
services  provided  by third  parties,  we  require  that all new  software  and
technology services are Year 2000 compliant.  This requirement includes patches,
upgrades and fixes to existing technology services.

We  believe  that  all of our  third  party  service  providers  are  Year  2000
compliant.

Industry-wide Issues

Because we derive a significant  portion of our revenues from customers at other
racing  organizations  that are confronted with the same  technological  issues,
including totalisator,  video and statistical information services, we have been
actively  participating in an  industry-wide  assessment and remedial efforts to
address the Year 2000 issue.

Feedback Control Systems

A variety  of the newer  control  and  regulating  systems  are date  sensitive.
Environmental  control  systems,  elevator/escalator  systems,  fire control and
security systems utilize  date-sensitive  software/embedded  chip technology for
correct operation. We have systems that perform each of these functions,  and we
have  identified  that  these  systems  do employ  technology  that is Year 2000
compliant.

Cost and Contingency Planning

To date,  the total cost is estimated to be less than $300,000 to remediate Year
2000 compliance issues, and the total project  costs  incurred  to date has been
approximately  $225,000.  Our  management  believes  that  any  future  costs to
remediate  Year 2000  compliance  issues will not be  material to our  financial
position or results of operations.

We have  completed the  evaluation  of what we believe to be a worst case Year
2000  scenario  for our owned  systems as well as issues  involving  third party
service  providers. We have also  completed the Year 2000 compliance  evaluation
for our recent acquisitions of Calder  Race  Course and  Hollywood  Park and
remediation   plans  have  been  completed  on  all critical operating  systems.
Contingency plans for any other unexpected Year 2000 impact will be
finalized before year-end.

ITEM 3.        Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

               Since  December 31, 1998 we have increased the amount of variable
               rate debt  outstanding  under our  revolving  loan  facility.  At
               September  30, 1999,  we had $183.0  million of debt  outstanding
               under this facility  which bears interest at LIBOR based variable
               rates.  We are exposed to market risk on this  variable rate debt
               due to potential adverse changes in the LIBOR rate.  Assuming the
               outstanding  balance  on  the  revolving  loan  facility  remains
               constant, a one percentage point increase in the LIBOR rate would
               reduce pre-tax earnings and cash flows by $1.8 million.

               In order to mitigate a portion of the market risk associated with
               our  variable  rate debt,  we  entered  into  interest  rate swap
               contracts with a major financial institution.  Under terms of the
               contracts we receive a LIBOR based variable interest rate and pay
               a fixed  interest  rate on a notional  amount of $105.0  million.
               Assuming  the  notional  amounts  under  the  interest  rate swap
               contracts remain constant, a one percentage point increase in the
               LIBOR rate would reduce  pre-tax  earnings and cash flows by $0.8
               million.
