Churchill Downs Incorporated (“CDI” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CHDN) announced Monday that Presque Isle Downs & Casino (“Presque Isle”), the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, has entered into a multi-year agreement with a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of bet365 Group Ltd (“bet365″) for online sports betting and iGaming market access in Pennsylvania, subject to necessary regulatory approvals.

“We are pleased to partner with a global leader in the online gaming industry,” said Bill Carstanjen, CEO of CDI. “Our relationship with bet365 enables us to maximize the value of our company's sports betting and iGaming market access in Pennsylvania.”

The bet365 agreement is consistent with CDI's strategy to exit the online sports and casino business, monetize the Company's online sports and iGaming market access rights and remain focused on growing the TwinSpires online horseracing wagering business.

“Off the heels of our launch in Ohio, we are thrilled to announce our partnership with Churchill Downs Incorporated,” a bet365 spokesperson said. “Once live, the world's favorite online sports betting brand will be available to sports fans in Pennsylvania, offering fantastic site features, including Bet Boosts, Same Game Parlay, Cash Out and Edit Bet, on top of our market-leading sign-up offer.”

The Rainbow 6 went unsolved at Gulfstream Park Saturday on the second day following a single-ticket jackpot hit for $533,783.63 Thursday. The popular multi-race wager had gone unsolved for 11 racing days following a jackpot hit Dec. 18 for a $137,119 payoff.

Sunday's Rainbow 6 gross jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $150,000.

The Rainbow 6 jackpot is paid out when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 70 percent of that day's pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.

In addition to the featured optional claiming allowance for 3-year-olds in Race 9, the Rainbow 6 sequence will be highlighted by a pair of deep maiden special weight races on turf for 3-year-old fillies in Races 5 and 8.

Saturday's 10-race program will be bolstered by a Pick 6 carryover of $24,924 after the multi-race wager went unsolved on Friday's nine-race card.

The $1 Pick 6 returned $377.50 to bettors who selected 5-of-6 horses correctly.

The sequence began in Race 4 with jockey Manny Franco posting the second of his six wins on the card, guiding Quick Chaos [No. 7, $12.20] to victory in a state-bred maiden special weight for conditioner Jorge Abreu.

Franco then guided Vallarand [No. 4, $4.70*] to score a $25,000 claiming victory in Race 5 for trainer Rob Atras before another win in Race 6 aboard Baron's Legacy [No. 6, $18.80] to provide trainer Horacio De Paz with a state-bred maiden claiming win.

Race 7 saw Six Percent [No. 8, $16.20] pounce to victory under Dylan Davis for conditioner Jeremiah Englehart in a state-bred allowance optional claimer.

Franco returned to the winner's circle again in Race 8 aboard Kant Hurry Love [No. 3, $6.60] for trainer Christophe Clement before earning his sixth win on the card in Race 9 aboard the Antonio Arriaga-trained Bourbon Calling [No. 10, $13.40] to trigger the carryover.

Saturday's Pick 6 sequence will begin in Race 5 [1:47 p.m. Eastern] and will feature the $150,000 Jerome in Race 8 and the $150,000 Queens County in Race 9. First post is 11:50 a.m.
