“We are pleased to receive approval from the Governor of Kentucky to get our team members back to work and to welcome our guests back to Derby City Gaming using national best practices and in compliance with all state and local requirements,” said Bill Carstanjen, CEO of CDI. “We look forward to, once again, contributing to the state and local economy because we know a strong horse racing industry means a strong Kentucky.”
