Churchill Downs Incorporated

).
What Is Insider Buying?
It is perfectly legal for company insiders, including board members, to buy and sell stock in a company. However, rules govern insider transactions, and certain disclosures are required.
Insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing. But it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing. For example, a Colombia University
study
found that ‘insiders are more likely to engage in open market purchases of their own company’s stock when the firm is about to reveal new agreements with customers and suppliers’.

Robert Evans made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$8.7m worth of shares at a price of US$265 each. That means that an insider was selling shares at around the current price of US$237. While their view may have changed since the sale, this is not a particularly positive fact.

Churchill Downs insiders own about US$146m worth of shares (which is 4.7% of the company).
