New Rules Adopted By Churchill Downs
Churchill Downs tightens stall and entry rules to remove cheaper horses from the program. Effective with the Mamii meeting starting Oct. 26, the track will bar horses that have raced for 1500 dollars unless they meet higher thresholds. A horse with prior 1500 wins may be ineligible, and any later drop from 2000 dollars back to 1500 reopens ineligibility.
