The company behind the Kentucky Derby is trying to take over horse racing in New Kent County and Rosie’s gaming emporiums, and the man behind the multi-billion dollar deal said he can support a second shot to roll the dice for a Richmond casino.
“I think it’s a great opportunity for Richmond, I think it’s great for the state,” said Churchill Downs CEO Bill Carstanjen in an interview with 8News Wednesday.
Churchill Downs could be the new Urban ONE casino operator, after their whopping $2.5 billion acquisition deal with the parent company of Colonial Downs in New Kent, and Rosie’s gaming emporiums-Peninsula Pacific Entertainment.
