Darren Rogers says this: Storm rips through Churchill Downs, multiple barns suffer roof damage, downed trees, water main busted. More to come as details surface.
A few more folks said security confirms a tornado "touched down" in the infield.

It's the Twitterverse, but numerous reporting that Steve Margolis' barn collapsed and that there is a gas leak on the backside as well.
Trees, a couple of buildings, wires etc...

Chuck, I'm sorry to hear that you lost one of your horses today.
Please everyone pray for those at Churchill; humans, horses, dogs, cats and whatever else. This is so awful. Sad news all around. And here all we can do is sit at your computers. I wish I was at CD so I could contribute and do something to help.

Report is now, according to Churchill, that nine barns have "significant" damage.
