Operative words
"With the current significant increases in COVID-19 cases in Louisville as well as across the region, we needed to again revisit our planning. We have made the difficult decision to hold this year's Kentucky Derby on September 5 without fans"; "The decision comes with the support of Governor Andy Beshear who said, 'The virus is still aggressively spreading in Kentucky, and the White House has announced that Jefferson County and the City of Louisville are in a "red zone" based on increases in cases'" (Churchill Downs Incorporated, August 21, 2020, Ex. SEC-21-GM-024)
