Delaware Park issued the following statement from its Chief Operating Officer
Bill Fasy in response to the Delaware Supreme Court`s ruling today on Sports
Betting. 

"We are obviously pleased with the ruling handed down today by the Delaware
Supreme Court. We believe that the single game sports lottery, with a proper
betting line, will provide an exciting entertainment option for our guests and
we intend to add a sports betting operation at Delaware Park as soon as the
Lottery finalizes the rules and regulations. We expect to be operating by the
end of the summer. Our plan is to create the finest, state-of-the-art sports
betting facility, integrated into our existing large simulcast racing rooms,
which are already equipped with floor-to-ceiling, big-screen televisions; easy
access to fine food and beverages; and more. It will be the most fun and
thrilling place to watch and wager on sports this side of Las Vegas. With the
addition of sports betting today and table games in the near future, we are

benefit all Delawareans."
