The Company's second quarter of 2020 net loss from continuing operations was $23.6 million compared to net income from continuing operations of $108.3 million in the prior year quarter. CDI had $95.2 million in net loss from discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $1.2 million in the prior year quarter.The following items impacted the comparability of the Company's second quarter net (loss) income from continuing operations: * $4.8 million after-tax expense decrease related to our equity portion of the non-cash change in fair value of Midwest Gaming's (the parent company of Rivers Des Plaines) interest rate swaps; and * $0.6 million after-tax decrease of our equity portion of Midwest Gaming's recapitalization and transaction costs in the second quarter of 2019 that did not recur in the current year quarter; * Partially offset by: * $0.6 million non-cash tax impact related to the re-measurement of our net deferred tax liabilities in the second quarter of 2019 that did not recur in the current year quarter based on an increase in revenue related to states with higher tax rates; and * $0.6 million after-tax increase in expenses related to lower transaction, pre-opening and other expenses in the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter.Excluding these items, net (loss) income from continuing operations decreased $136.1 million primarily due to the following: * $135.2 million after-tax decrease driven by the results of our operations and equity income from our unconsolidated affiliates primarily due to the temporary closure of our gaming facilities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; and * $0.9 million after-tax increase in interest expense associated with higher outstanding debt balances.The Company's second quarter 2020 net loss from discontinued operations increased by $94.0 million compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the settlement of the Kater and Thimmegowda lawsuits during the second quarter of 2020 for $124.0 million ($95.0 million after-tax).COVID-19 UpdateThe COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken to limit the impact of COVID-19, including shelter-in-place orders, social distancing measures, travel bans and restrictions, and business and government shutdowns, have resulted and continue to result in significant negative economic impacts in the United States and in relation to our business.In response to the measures taken to limit the impact of COVID-19 described above, and for the protection of our employees, customers, and communities, we temporarily suspended operations at our properties in March 2020. In May 2020, we began to reopen our properties with patron capacity limitations and gaming restrictions. We also implemented other initiatives to facilitate social distancing and enhanced cleaning, such as increased frequency of cleaning and sanitizing of all high-touch surfaces, mandatory temperature checks of all guests and team members upon entry and required training for all team members on safety protocols. Certain amenities at our properties have continued to be suspended, including all of our food buffets and valet services, and certain restaurants and food outlets. The supplemental information in this release provides additional detail on the temporary closures or suspended operations and the respective reopening dates by segment and property.  On March 25, 2020, as a result of the temporary closures and suspended operations described above, the Company announced the temporary furlough of employees at its wholly-owned and managed gaming properties and certain racing operations. As the Company has reopened these properties, certain employees have returned to work while others remain on temporary furlough due to the capacity restrictions at these properties. The Company is providing health, dental, vision and life insurance benefits to furloughed employees through July 31, 2020.The Company also implemented a temporary salary reduction for all remaining non-furloughed salaried employees based on a percentage that varies dependent upon the amount of each employee’s salary. The most senior level of executive management has received the largest salary decrease, based on both percentage and dollar amount. Salaries for non-furloughed employees will resume at their annual base salary beginning with the start of the employee's first full pay period subsequent to July 31, 2020.There have been a number of other aspects of our business that have been impacted by COVID-19 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, including the following: * The Company rescheduled the 146th Kentucky Oaks and Derby from May 1-2, 2020 to September 4-5, 2020.  On June 24, 2020, the Company received approval from the Governor of Kentucky and state public health officials for its plan to allow limited spectators to attend Kentucky Derby week events held September 1-5, 2020. * Horse racing content for wagering on our TwinSpires business ("TwinSpires") decreased, although handle increased as our customers wagered more on the content that was available. * Starting in mid-February 2020, U.S. and international sporting events were cancelled, which reduced sports betting content for our customers.Turfway ParkOn July 28, 2020, CDI’s Board of Directors approved the final design plans for the HRM and grandstand facility at Turfway Park. The final plans reflect total project capital of $200.0 million, which includes the Turfway Park acquisition cost and other previously approved capital.

Bob Baffert suspended 15 days by Arkansas racing officials

  • LOS ANGELES (AP) - Two-time Triple Crown-winning trainer Bob Baffert has been suspended for 15 days by the Arkansas Racing Commission after two of his horses tested positive for a banned substance. The commission said in a ruling announced Wednesday that the suspension will run from Aug. 1 -15. The Oaklawn Park stewards found Baffert violated Rule 1233, which states that a trainer shall ultimately be responsible for the condition of any horse that is entered regardless of the acts of any third parties. His horses Charlatan and Gamine each tested positive for lidocaine in two rounds of testing after winning races at the Hot Springs, Arkansas, track on May 2. In separate rulings, the commission disqualified both horses and stripped them of their purse earnings. Gamine's forfeited purse was $36,000. Lidocaine, a widely used anesthetic in racing, is considered a Class 2 drug by the Association of Racing Commissioners International and use of it carries a penalty of a 15- to 60-day suspension and a fine of $500 to $1,000 for a first offense. The drug's use is regulated because it can act as a masking agent. The commission did not announce the levels of lidocaine found in either horse. However, Baffert said in a statement earlier this month that the level in Gamine was 185 picograms, while Charlatan had 46 picograms. A picogram is a trillionth of a gram. Baffert said earlier this month that he believes both horses were "unknowingly and innocently" exposed to lidocaine by one of his stable employees. The employee had broken his pelvis and was suffering from back pain in the days leading up to May 2. He applied a pain relieving patch, which contained small amounts of lidocaine, according to Baffert's statement. Baffert said he believes the lidocaine from the patch was inadvertently transferred from the...

Churchill Downs said it will work with Miami-Date county and state officials to reopen Calder "as soon as it is appropriate to do so." The company had reopened Calder Casino on June 12, after temporarily suspending operations on March 16, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Shares of Churchill Downs rose 2.4% in morning trading. They have slipped 1.4% year to date, while the S&P; 500 has lost 1.8%.

Bad news is punishing stock market investors — here’s how to deal with it

  • The upshot: It’ll make sense to buy stocks after potential 5%-10% declines in the S&P; 500 (SPX) Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and Nasdaq (COMP) Stock market indexes posted declines Friday of over 2% on concerns about rising coronavirus cases in some states as they reopen their economies. The eight stocks I put in my public-gathering-place portfolio in my stock newsletter, Brush Up on Stocks, on March 17 were up 70.7% by the close June 15, compared with 26.3% gains for the SPDR S&P; 500 ETF Trust (SPY) As the big gainers (and the ones most vulnerable to Covid-19 resurgence fears), they will likely decline a lot, offering the best opportunity for a rebound when Covid-19 fears recede again. The eight stocks are: Churchill Downs (CHDN) Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCL) Carnival (CCL) Planet Fitness (PLNT) Lowe’s (LOW) Home Depot (HD) Howard Hughes (HHC) and Cedar Fair (FUN) These all have solid brands, good business prospects and decent insider buying levels.

Kentucky Derby, Oaks will run with limitations on spectators

  • LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Churchill Downs officials have gotten their wish, announcing Thursday that when the rescheduled Kentucky Derby is run in September there will be spectators in the stands - just more spread out than usual. The historic track got the go-ahead to run the Derby and Oaks this fall with spectators under strict guidelines to limit crowd density for the marquee Triple Crown race that annually attracts more than 150,000. The 146th running of the Oaks for fillies and the Derby had been postponed from May 1-2 to Sept. 4-5 because of the coronavirus pandemic. It is the first time since 1945 that horse racing's premier event was not run on the first Saturday in May. Churchill Downs has run its delayed spring meet without spectators per state guidelines, but track officials had expressed a desire for the Run for the Roses to go off with fans watching in colorful hats and bright suits and drinking mint juleps. After consulting with Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and local health officials, Churchill Downs will reduce capacity in general admission, outdoor reserved seating, premium dining and suites. Fans will be "consistently and frequently" encouraged to wear masks at all times unless seated, to practice social distancing when possible and to wash or sanitize hands frequently. Last year's rain-soaked Derby, awarded to Country House after Maximum Security was disqualified for interference, had 150,729 beneath the Twin Spires. Attendance obviously will be lower this year with new health protocols, and Churchill Downs president Kevin Flanery isn't thinking about numbers. "We're very fortunate," Flanery said during a news conference. "I mean, our infield has 26 acres of property. There is a large space there. We have over 1.6 million square feet of space under a roof on the front side. So we...

Belmont winner Tiz the Law eyes ambitious summer schedule

  • Tiz the Law has been good and lucky, two ingredients essential to success in horse racing. He's been dominant, too. He raced to a 3 3/4-length victory Saturday in the Belmont Stakes to open the rescheduled Triple Crown. His five wins in six career starts have been by an average margin of 19 1/4 lengths. His only loss came at Churchill Downs in the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes last year, when he finished third on a sloppy track. In 11 weeks, he'll get a chance to avenge that defeat over the same track in the Kentucky Derby. Tiz the Law has an ambitious summer and fall campaign ahead of him if all goes according to plan. Next up is the Travers on Aug. 8 at Saratoga, where Tiz the Law would be competing on his home turf in upstate New York. It's where he won for the first time last August. As the first New York-bred Belmont winner since 1882, his following only figures to get bigger. However, it remains to be seen whether fans would be allowed to attend at any point in the Saratoga meet, which opens July 16. "I've never won the Travers and I want to win it," trainer Barclay Tagg said. Then comes the Kentucky Derby on Sept. 5 and the Preakness on Oct. 3 - no word yet on spectators at either race - to close out the Triple Crown. The bay colt would finish the year in the Breeders' Cup Classic at Keeneland on Nov. 7. Jack Knowlton of Sackatoga Stable - comprised of 34 partners who paid $110,000 for Tiz the Law - hasn't been able to cheer his colt in person since Feb. 1 at Gulfstream in Florida. He watched Tiz the Law win the Florida Derby on March 28 from his condo near the track and the Belmont at a restaurant in Saratoga Springs. The colt has earned over $1.5 million. "I keep telling everybody Barclay doesn't get a lot of big horses and big...

NY-bred Tiz the Law wins barren Belmont Stakes

  • NEW YORK (AP) — Eerily empty grandstands. Masked jockeys. Shuttered betting windows. For Tiz the Law trainer Barclay Tagg, no finer way to round out a career Triple Crown. “I’m not trying to be a jerk about it,” the 82-year-old said. “But I thought the quiet, to me, was very nice.” Everything was strange about this Belmont Stakes, except the winner. Heavily favored Tiz the Law won an unprecedented Belmont, claiming victory Saturday at the first race of a rejiggered Triple Crown schedule that barred fans because of the coronavirus pandemic. The 3-year-old colt from upstate New York charged to the lead turning for home and now can set his sights on the Sept. 5 Kentucky Derby and Oct. 3 Preakness. All three legs of this year’s Triple Crown schedule were postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Belmont, usually the series capper, was initially scheduled for June 6. Tiz the Law gave New York a hometown champion in its first major sporting event since the coronavirus pandemic seized the area. He’s the first New York-bred horse to win the Belmont since Forester in 1882. “It’s a lot smaller crowd, that’s for sure,” said owner Jack Knowlton, who watched from a restaurant patio in the familiar surroundings of Saratoga Springs. The 4-5 favorite won by 3 3/4 lengths, covering the 1 1/8 miles in 1:46.53. Dr Post finished second and Max Player was third. The race was shortened from the usual 1 ½-mile standard to account for competitors’ unusual training schedules. Horses kicked off from a starting gate placed atop the backstretch, rather than in front of the grandstands. In most every way, this Belmont States was unlike any of the 151 that preceded it. The Long Island track can pack in nearly 100,000, but this race had about 100 on hand, including...

NY-bred Tiz the Law wins barren Belmont Stakes

  • NEW YORK (AP) — Tiz the Law has won an unprecedented Belmont Stakes, claiming victory Saturday at the first race of a rejiggered Triple Crown schedule and crossing the finish line in front of eerily empty grandstands. The 3-year-old colt from upstate New York charged to the lead turning to the frontstretch and now can set his sights on the Sept. 5 Kentucky Derby and Oct. 3 Preakness. All three legs of this year’s Triple Crown schedule were postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Belmont, usually the series capper, was initially scheduled for June 6. Tiz the Law gave New York a hometown champion in its first major sporting event since the coronavirus pandemic seized the area. He’s the first New York-bred horse to win the Belmont since Forrester in 1882. This Belmont States was unlike any of the 151 that preceded it. The Long Island track can pack in nearly 100,000, but this race had about 100 on hand, including jockeys, media and park staff. Masks were mandated for all but the horses — even the jockeys wore face coverings. Closed to the public since March, Belmont Park hardly resembled the summer soiree New Yorkers are used to. Betting windows and gift shops were closed, no boozy Belmont Jewels shaken to order. Foot traffic was so slow that a few weeds over a foot tall sprouted up between bricks paving the track-side pavilion. Silence at the 115-year-old venue was broken when New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued the traditional “riders, up!” call remotely via video. Bugler Sam Grossman pulled down his facemask to tap out “Call to the Post,” and racers strolled onto the track to a recording of Frank Sinatra's “New York, New York.” A PA announcer introduced them to empty grandstands.

Ex-cop charged in Brooks case involved in earlier shooting

  • ATLANTA (AP) — The former Atlanta police officer charged with felony murder in the death of Rayshard Brooks was involved in another shooting five years ago that left a man with a punctured lung, a newspaper reported Saturday. Citing court documents, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the older case was investigated by Atlanta police and turned over to Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard, who cleared the officers involved — including Garrett Rolfe — in February. A judge on Friday denied bond for the 27-year-old Rolfe, who has been charged with felony murder and other crimes after fatally shooting Rayshard Brooks in the back outside of a Wendy's restaurant in Atlanta after Brooks fired a stun gun in his direction. Rolfe is white; Brooks was Black. The 2015 shooting was not mentioned in the original incident report or in documents made available to the court-appointed attorney for the man who had been shot, Jackie Harris, the newspaper reported. Retired Fulton County Superior Court Judge Doris Downs presided over Harris’ 2016 trial. She told the newspaper that it was the first time she had ever come across a case of an incident report failing to mention that shots were fired. Harris, 40 at the time, had tried to flee from police after he was spotted driving a stolen truck, records show. He eventually crashed into a gas meter and twice ran into a parked police car. Atlanta Police Capt. Michael O’Connor was quoted by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution at the time saying that Harris could have struck officers with the vehicle he was driving so they "fired their weapons to stop what they viewed as the threat of the truck that was coming at them.” Harris was unarmed but O’Connor said he had a weapon — “a 3,000 pound pickup truck.” Downs...
