Always A Runner Claims the Lilies for the 152nd Running of the Longines Kentucky Oaks

Kentucky Oaks Presented in Primetime on NBC for the First Time Ever

LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Churchill Downs Incorporated (Nasdaq: CHDN) (the “Company”, “CDI”, “we”) announced today that Always A Runner captured the Lilies in the 152nd running of the Longines Kentucky Oaks, topping a field of 13 fillies on fast track conditions. Under the lights of Churchill Downs Racetrack, over 103,000 enthusiastic fans gathered to witness America’s premier race for 3-year-old fillies, highlighted by a spectacular twilight finish.

NBC Sports and Peacock broadcast the Kentucky Oaks in primetime for the first time, marking a significant step in expanding viewership and reaching new audiences.

Wagering from all sources on the full Kentucky Oaks race day card set a new record of $89 million, up 18% from the prior record set in 2024. All-sources wagering on the Kentucky Oaks race was an all-time high of over $29 million, up 29% from last year.

TwinSpires, the official betting partner of the Kentucky Oaks, set a new record of $24 million1, up 24% from the prior record set last year in wagering on Churchill Downs races for the Kentucky Oaks Day program.

Always A Runner, owned by Douglas Scharbauer and Three Chimneys Farm, LLC, trained by Chad Brown, and ridden by Jose Ortiz, covered the 1-1/8th mile in 1:48.82 to win the Longines Kentucky Oaks by 1-¼ lengths at odds of 5-1. Three Chimneys Farm, LLC, bred the daughter of Gun Runner in Kentucky. Always A Runner has lifetime earnings of nearly $1 million.

“We proudly celebrate and congratulate the connections of Always A Runner on her impressive victory,” said Churchill Downs President Mike Anderson. “We are so grateful to our fans, sponsors, horsemen, and horsewomen who made the 152nd Kentucky Oaks a truly memorable event.”

Through the Kentucky Oaks, CDI continued to champion women’s health initiatives, harnessing the event’s platform to make an impact. We welcomed breast and ovarian cancer survivors to walk the historic racetrack prior to the running of Longines Kentucky Oaks for the 18th annual Survivors Parade.

Churchill Downs’ Oaks charitable beneficiaries were Derby Divas, representing the Norton Cancer Institute; Horses and Hope, representing the Kentucky Cancer Program; and new for 2026, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Since its inception, the Oaks Survivors Parade charitable initiative has raised nearly $2 million for women’s health advocacy, providing access to preventive care to underserved women throughout Kentucky, including those who work in the equine industry.

Extreme Networks Investigation Continued: Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC Continues to Investigate the Officers and Directors of Extreme Networks, Inc. – EXTR

NEW YORK CITY & NEW ORLEANS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”), announces that KSF continues its investigation into Extreme Networks, Inc. (NasdaqGS: EXTR).

On January 31, 2024, the Company disclosed disappointing financial results and operational trends for 2Q24 including, among other things, that its revenues for the quarter were $296.4 million, down 7% year-over-year, and that it generated just $186.6 million in product revenue, a decline of 37% year-over-year.

Thereafter, the Company and certain of its executives were sued in a securities class action lawsuit, charging them with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period in violation of federal securities laws. Specifically, the case alleges that Defendants made false and misleading statements about Extreme’s product revenue and backlog between July 27, 2022 and January 30, 2024. Recently, the Court presiding over the case denied the Company’s motion to dismiss the case, allowing the case to move forward.

KSF’s investigation is focusing on whether Extreme’s officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to its shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
