The discovery of a man’s body May 6 in the stable area of Churchill Downs was being investigated as a homicide, but there is no connection to the racetrack or the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I), police said.
“At this point we don’t have anything pointing to the fact that this had any association with Churchill Downs or the Derby itself,” said Alicia Smiley, spokewoman for Louisville Metro Police.
Smiley said the death is being investigated as a homicide and there were no obvious signs of a struggle. She did not have any information on the identification or age of the man.
Churchill Downs security called police at 4:50 a.m. EDT after the body was found in a barn occupied by Louisville trainer Angel Montano Sr., Smiley said.
