The new beer is called Churchill Downs Light, and it's described in a news release as a crisp brew with a clean finish featuring subtle hints of citrus.
'This launch is a toast to community, tradition, and the thrill of the Kentucky Derby,' said Casey Ramage, vice president of marketing and partnerships at Churchill Downs Racetrack in a news release. 'We can't wait for fans to enjoy this light lager, whether they're joining us trackside or celebrating at home.'
The beer's label design features the iconic twin spires and the silhouette of a thoroughbred against a backdrop of white polka dots, paying homage to the silks commonly worn by jockeys.
'Creating Churchill Downs Light has been a labor of love—rooted in craftsmanship, community, and celebration,' said Jim McGuire, co-owner of TEN20 Craft Brewery in the news release. 'We set out to brew something approachable and refreshing that embodies the spirit of Churchill Downs, and we're proud to see it come to life alongside an iconic venue like Churchill Downs.'
The beer is currently available at the brewery's tap rooms and will be sold on site at Churchill Downs Derby week and beyond.
TEN20 opened its flagship brewery in Butchertown, 1020 E. Washington St., in 2020. It expanded to the Anchorage neighborhood at 11505 Park Road the following year.
In 2022, the brewery opened a third location in a former Heine Brothers on Douglass Loop in the Highlands, at 2200 Bardstown Road, though that location will close at the end of April.
Jim McGuire, TEN20 co-founder, told Louisville Business First the brewery decided not to renew the lease and planned to focus on upgrading its flagship Butchertown location.

‘Left With No Choice': Churchill Downs Inc. Moves To Relinquish Fair Grounds License In Louisiana
'Left With No Choice': Churchill Downs Inc. Moves To Relinquish Fair Grounds License In Louisiana originally appeared on Paulick Report. Doubling down on statements made last month about not opening Fair Grounds Race & Slots in New Orleans for a live horse racing meet this fall, Churchill Downs Inc.'s chief executive officer informed the Louisiana State Racing Commission the company plans to 'begin the next steps' to relinquish its live racing and OTB license, along with its slots and video poker licenses, at the racing commission's next meeting. In a June 9 letter to racing commission officials – obtained by the Paulick Report – Bill Carstanjen, the chief executive officer of CDI, said the loss of historical horse racing (HHR) revenue, following an adverse state Supreme Court ruling, and newly enacted legislation has forced the company's hand. Advertisement Related: Situation 'Dire': Fair Grounds May Not Run 2025-'26 Race Meet Without Legislative Help 'Given the legislature's ease with which it approved legislation that is directly adverse and harmful to the economic interests of Fair Grounds, the opposition by elected officials to engage in meaningful solutions in collaboration with the Fair Grounds, and the forthcoming adjournment of the legislative session,' Carstanjen wrote, 'CDI is left with no choice but to request an appearance before the LSRC to begin the next steps for voluntarily surrendering the racing license held by the Fair Grounds.' Carstanjen added: "This is not the path CDI wishes to proceed down, but the inaction from elected officials to offer any sort of compromise has made this the only possible outcome. ... Closing one of the nation's oldest racetracks, and the most important track in Louisiana, will be a devastating blow to Louisiana's equine industry and the New Orleans economy. It will also have an immediate detrimental impact on the livelihoods of the hundreds of employees, local vendors, and community surrounding the Fair Grounds." At an emergency meeting of the Louisiana commission on May 13, Ozair Shariff, an attorney for CDI, warned commissioners that without some form of legislative assistance to make up for the loss of HHR revenue, Fair Grounds would not apply for racing dates in the fall, calling the situation 'dire.' Reading from a statement at the May meeting, Shariff said: 'Fair Grounds' overall profitability is dependent on revenue generated from its OTB network, specifically video poker and historical racing – until last week (when the Supreme Court decision on HHR took effect). The elimination of 46 percent of the OTB revenue and an even more significant 74 percent of OTB EBITDA does not allow Fair Grounds to cover its required $9 million average annual maintenance operating capital. Faced with this reality, operating under the current status quo is no longer an option.' Shariff said efforts to engage members of the Louisiana legislature, whose session ends on June 12, was a priority, in hopes of getting some type of relief. Shariff was rebuked at the meeting by Louie Roussel III, a prominent New Orleans businessman who formerly owned Fair Grounds and is a longtime Thoroughbred owner and trainer. Roussel, who said he was speaking on behalf of Gov. Jeff Landry, addressed the commission, telling them, 'Do not allow these people to do this. … If they tell you they don't want to race, fine them $50,000 or $100,000 a day for every day they don't race. 'There will be no state subsidy for this racetrack,' Roussel added. 'None.' Apparently, Roussel was correct. Advertisement Legislators did pass two bills that Carstanjen said would be damaging to CDI's bottom line: the first expands the permitted number of video poker machines at truck stops (from 50 to 60) and bars (from three to four). The second bill would permit fixed odds wagering on horse racing. The legislation created a fund for Louisiana purses, but nothing for track operators. Following is Carstanjen's letter to the Louisiana State Racing Commission, in full: June 9, 2025 Mr. Edward J. Koehl, Jr., Chairman Louisiana State Racing Commission Mr. Stephen Landry, Executive Director Louisiana State Racing Commission 320 N Carrollton Avenue Suite 2-B New Orleans, Louisiana 70119-5100 RE: LSRC Meeting and Fair Grounds' Racing License Dear Chairman Koehl and Executive Director Landry: It is my understanding that soon after the Louisiana Legislature adjourns on June 12, 2025, an emergency meeting of the Louisiana State Racing Commission ("LSRC") will be conducted. This correspondence is Churchill Downs Incorporated's ("CDI") formal request to appear at the meeting to discuss the timeline and next steps concerning the license held by Churchill Downs Louisiana Horseracing Company, L.L.C. d/b/a Fair Grounds Racecourse & Slots ("Fair Grounds"). For the last few months, CDI has attempted to engage in good faith discussions with elected officials and various other industry stakeholders to find a path toward long term economic viability for the Fair Grounds after the recent decision of the Louisiana Supreme Court that resulted in the elimination of historical horse racing ("HHR"), and nearly half of the Fair Grounds' off-track betting ("OTB") revenues. To date, our efforts to engage elected officials have not led to meaningful discussions and, confoundingly, CDI's efforts have been met with a combination of reluctance, indifference, apathy, and even opposition. To make matters worse, the passing of HB 540 and 547 further negatively impacts the Fair Grounds' ability to remain competitive. House Bill 540 will lead to significant cannibalization of revenue from our OTB network in and around greater New Orleans, a network in which the Fair Grounds has heavily invested since 2005 - the only racetrack operator in the state to do so. House Bill 547 will shift wagering handle from current brick and mortar racetracks, OTBs, and advanced deposit wagering platforms, all of which provide revenues to track operators and local horsemen groups, to out-of-state bookmaking operators. Given the legislature's ease with which it approved legislation that is directly adverse and harmful to the economic interests of Fair Grounds, the opposition by elected officials to engage in meaningful solutions in collaboration with the Fair Grounds, and the forthcoming adjournment of the legislative session, CDI is left with no choice but to request an appearance before the LSRC to begin the next steps for voluntarily surrendering the racing license held by the Fair Grounds. The timing of the LSRC's meeting, and the date on which the Fair Grounds ceases its operations for not committing to run a 2025-2026 race meet, necessarily implicates the Louisiana Gaming Control Board ("LGCB") and the Fair Grounds' slot license, the surrender of which may not occur without the prior approval of the LGCB. To be clear, we expect to surrender our slot and video poker licenses. This is not the path CDI wishes to proceed down, but the inaction from elected officials to offer any sort of compromise has made this the only possible outcome. Fair Grounds provides nearly $30 million in taxes to local municipalities and the State of Louisiana, in addition to well over $34 million in purse money for its racing product. Closing one of the nation's oldest racetracks, and the most important track in Louisiana, will be a devasting blow to Louisiana's equine industry and the New Orleans economy. It will also have an immediate detrimental impact on the livelihoods of the hundreds of employees, local vendors, and community surrounding the Fair Grounds. However, the inaction of the legislature and others in a position to save this racetrack have forced us into the current situation. Please provide the details of the meeting at your earliest convenience. William C. Carstanjen Churchill Downs Incorporated, CEO cc: Mr. Jeff Landry, Governor Mr. Cameron Henry, Senate President Mr. Phillip DeVillier, Speaker of the House Mr. Jimmy Harris, Senator Mr. Bernard Chatters, President of the Louisiana HBPA Mr. Patrick Bernard, LSRC Commissioner Mr. Rock Bordelon, LSRC Commissioner Mrs. Leslie Bouie, LSRC Commissioner Mr. Larry Findley, LSRC Commissioner Mr. K.R.

A strategy for pacing out your bets on Belmont Stakes day
It's a cliché, but betting — especially on Belmont Stakes day — is a marathon, not a sprint. Becoming a profitable handicapper is not just about picking winners and finding an edge. A pillar of success in betting is managing two things — your bankroll and your emotions. We'll start with bankroll management. Your bankroll refers to the amount of money you have allocated for betting. In other words, the amount of money you would be comfortable losing. For some people, that number could be high. For others, it could be quite low. Bet with your head, not over it. When it comes to a day such as the Belmont Stakes, bankroll management becomes even more important because, in all likelihood, you're going to want to have some scratch in your pocket to bet the headliner at 7:04 p.m. That means you're going to essentially have two separate pools of money: one for the Belmont Stakes and one for the undercard, which gets underway at 10:45 a.m. and features seven other stakes races. It's a magnificent day for railbirds, but it can get spoiled quickly if you're not in control of your impulses. And what makes this day of racing especially tricky for those who may struggle with keeping their emotions in check when it comes to betting is that there is a really tempting 'chase' opportunity in the Belmont Stakes. The 2025 Belmont is headlined by two clear favorites, No. 7 Journalism (8-5) and No. 2 Sovereignty (2-1). Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty gets a bath on June 6, 2025 in preparation for Saturday's Belmont Stakes. Getty Images There will be plenty of casual punters who will plan on ending their day with a big bet on one or both of these horses. If you've been betting long enough, you know this feeling. Perhaps it was on Day 1 of March Madness or the first Saturday of the college football season, but we've all dealt with the temptation of chasing a day of losses with one final bet on a 'sure thing' late in the night (it's why Hawaii football games attract an unusually large number of bets during the fall). Nobody wants to be lectured about betting, or see someone get on their soapbox, but any seasoned gambler will say that resisting the urge to chase their losses was a huge step in the right direction. For the purposes of using a round number, let's say you have a bankroll of $200 for Saturday. Immediately, you should decide how much of that you want to leave for the Belmont Stakes. Mike Repoli is the owner of Uncaged who is running in Saturday's Belmont Stakes. Jason Szenes / New York Post Sticking with the round numbers, we'll put $20 aside for the Belmont (along with stashing away any profits from earlier wins), allowing us $180 to gamble with on the full menu of races leading up to the main event. But there's also a chance you're going to want to be a part of the Mandatory Payout Pick 5, which begins with the Jaipur (Race 9, 4:08 p.m.) and wraps up with the Belmont Stakes. By entering the Pick 5, you not only give yourself a shot at a life-changing amount of money, but you'll also have action on each race, so long as you're still in it, without having to bet anymore. We can put $54 aside for the Pick 5, which allows you plenty of room to build a decent ticket, and leaves you with $126 to bet on the rest of the races. It's not the most exciting part of the game, but mapping out a strategy like this before you enter the gates Saturday will go a long way in helping you walk out feeling like a winner.
