Evans, Churchill Downs Inc. chairman and CEO. In remarks made Tuesday with stock analysts on the Louisville-based company's record 2011 earnings, Evans described how Churchill has shifted from racing to gambling — and how it will change again in the future. "To millions of people worldwide, Churchill Downs means the Kentucky Derby, the Kentucky Oaks, and Churchill Downs means Thoroughbred racing," Evans said. "And while that's what our brands mean, it no longer is our business model."
