TwinSpires, established in 2007, is a premier online horse racing wagering platform in the United States, owned and operated by Churchill Downs Incorporated. As the official online betting partner of the Kentucky Derby, TwinSpires offers users the ability to wager on a wide array of horse races, including Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse, and harness races, both domestically and internationally. The platform provides comprehensive services such as live streaming of races, race replays, and detailed handicapping information, catering to both seasoned bettors and newcomers.
In 2021, Churchill Downs Incorporated consolidated its online wagering services by rebranding its sportsbook and iGaming platform from BetAmerica to TwinSpires, aiming to provide a unified and streamlined betting experience. However, in 2022, the company announced the cessation of its online sports betting and casino operations to refocus on its core horse racing wagering services. This strategic shift underscores TwinSpires’ commitment to maintaining its leadership position in the horse racing industry, leveraging over 148 years of wagering experience through its parent company, Churchill Downs, home of the world-famous Kentucky Derby.
