On October 14, the company announced the addition of three new international races to the Road to the Kentucky Derby points system: the UAE 2000 Guineas, the Saudi Derby, and a newly created Dubai Road to the Kentucky Derby Stakes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">These races will form part of the European and Middle East Road, offering horses a chance to qualify for the 2026 Kentucky Derby through designated point allocations. The move is designed to deepen Churchill Downs\u2019 international pipeline and attract top-tier talent from regions with growing racing influence.<\/p>\n<p>    <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" alt=\"Churchill Downs Adds Middle East Races to Global Derby Path\" loading=\"eager\" height=\"640\" width=\"960\" class=\"yf-1gfnohs loader\"\/> Churchill Downs Adds Middle East Races to Global Derby Path      <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">Pixabay\/Public Domain<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">By tapping into the Middle East\u2019s expanding horse racing circuits, the company aims to broaden its global footprint and enhance the Derby\u2019s stature as a worldwide event. Only two horses from this expanded pathway will ultimately earn a Derby invitation, but the strategic goal is clear: reinforce the Kentucky Derby\u2019s brand in emerging markets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">Founded in 1875 and based in Louisville, Kentucky, Churchill Downs Incorporated (NASDAQ:CHDN) owns and operates racetracks and gaming facilities across the U.S., including its flagship Churchill Downs Racetrack. It also runs TwinSpires, a major online wagering platform, and has expanded its historical racing machine footprint in multiple states.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">While we acknowledge the potential of CHDN as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
