While I hope for you and all the other people that want to play, I highly doubt that will happen. Unless they are looking to play the hero come Friday as a media spin

If they dont fix this it will comeback to haunt them. I am sure by Friday 11 a.m. something will be worked out. I highly doubt that CD and the horsemen want their biggest weekend of the year to be a disaster.

The latest update from twinspires no longer seems confident.

Kentucky Horsemen Negotiations Stalled (Updated 4/30)
Wednesday, April 30
5:02 pm
Although discussions continue between Churchill Downs, Inc. officials and the Kentucky Horsemen, there has been no agreement as of 5PM EST Wednesday. April 30. For this reason, we must regretfully advise our players to make other (non-ADW) arrangements for placing bets on the undercard races at Churchill Downs this Friday, May 2nd and this Saturday, May 3rd. If things change, we will alert you.
Please note that TwinSpires.com will offer wagering this weekend on the following three Churchill Downs races:

· Friday's Kentucky Oaks race (Race #10)

· Saturday's Woodford Reserve Turf Classic (Race #9), and


· The 134th Kentucky Derby (Race #10).

We deeply regret the inconvenience that this situation has caused.

How does this technically happen? Are they booking it themselves? Special papal dispensation?
