Churchill Downs Inc. has amended its lawsuit against Florida horsemen and the Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Group to include certain Kentucky horsemen associations and officers, an action in which all defendants are charged with violating federal antitrust laws.

The amended complaint, which was filed May 14 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky in Louisville, adds to its list of defendants the Kentucky Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association, the Kentucky Thoroughbred Association, as well as Kentucky HBPA officers Rick Hiles and Martin A. Maline, and KTA executive director David L. Switzer.
