CDI Buys BRIS, AmericaTab

Big news out of Kentucky this morning: Churchill Downs Incorporated has bought BRIS and AmericaTab.
6/29/07 Update: “Evans said establishment of twinspires.com and the subsequent acquisition of three Internet wagering companies gives CDI 20% of the Internet wagering market, the fastest growing segment of horse race wagering. Noting that wagering on Thoroughbred racing has been flat for the past decade, Evans said the challenge for CDI is to increase its market share” (Blood-Horse).
