D'Angelo Authors BloodHorse Article on TwinSpires Suit

Firm News

January 27, 2026
|
Lexington

Laura D'Angelo, a partner and leader of the Equine Industry Team in the Lexington office, authored the article "TwinSpires Suit in Michigan Could Impact Many States" published by BloodHorse on January 7, 2026. In the article, Laura examines the recent 6th Circuit decision to uphold the Western District of Michigan's injunction in favor of Churchill Downs Inc.’s TwinSpires advance-deposit wagering platform. The court ruled that Michigan’s additional consent requirement conflicts with the federal Interstate Horse Racing Act. She notes that the ruling clarifies where interstate wagers are legally accepted and suggests that other states with similar provisions, like California and Arizona, may face legal challenges.
