Churchill Downs Inc. threatened to cancel the Louisiana Derby if the Louisiana State Racing Commission does not rescind recent changes to its medication rules.
In a letter to the commission's executive director, Stephen Landry, on Thursday, CDI CEO Bill Carstanjen said that because of the uncertainty created by the rule changes, "there is a strong likelihood that we will not hold the Risen Star, Lecomte, or the Louisiana Derby at Fair Grounds, to name but a few key races."
