Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Directors and employees may from time to time own or have interests in horses racing at our racetracks. All such races are conducted, as applicable, under the regulations of each state’s respective regulatory agency, and no director receives any extra or special benefit with regard to having his or her horses selected to run in races or in connection with the actual running of races. There is no material financial statement impact attributable to directors who may have interests in horses racing at our racetracks. In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into transactions with certain of our officers and directors for the sale of personal seat licenses and suite accommodations at its racetracks, and tickets for its live racing events. We believe that each such transaction has been on terms no less favorable for us than could have been obtained in a transaction with a third party, and no such person received any extra or special benefit in connection with such transactions. On November 19, 2015, we repurchased approximately 945,000 common shares for $138.1 million in a privately negotiated transaction with a related party, The Duchossois Group, our largest shareholder. The aggregate purchase price for the transaction was based on a share price of $146.13, which was the average of the twenty-day trailing closing price for our common stock through November 18, 2015. The shares were retired, and the cost of the shares acquired was treated as a deduction from shareholders' equity. We funded this repurchase using available cash and borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility.
