Record handle for Oaks Day 2012



Friday, May 4, was a memorable one for Churchill Downs and not just because it was Oaks Day. All-sources handle was up 6.5% to a record of $39.9 million, an increase of $2.4 million over last year, which was a record handle.

Friday’s on-track attendance was the second largest of all-time with 112,500 people entering the gates of Churchill downs. The Oaks Day attendance record was set in 2010 when 116,000 went to the races.
