Churchill Downs officials announced late April 30 that opening day of the Louisville track's 2020 Spring Meet will be May 16.

On April 29 Churchill Downs received approval from state officials to reopen its stable areas at both Churchill Downs Racetrack and the auxiliary training center Trackside May 11 under strict guidelines to effectively mitigate the impact of COVID-19.
