Item 1.     Description of Securities To Be Registered .
 
Item 1 of the Form 8-A filed by Youbet.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), on April 1, 2009 is amended and supplemented by adding the following:
 
On November 11, 2009, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Merger Agreement ”) with Churchill Downs Incorporated, a Kentucky corporation (“ Churchill ”), Tomahawk Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Churchill (“ Merger Sub ”), and Tomahawk Merger LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Churchill (“ Merger LLC ”).  The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Churchill (the “ Merger ”) and (ii) following completion of the Merger, the surviving corporation from the Merger will merge with and into Merger LLC (the “ Subsequent Merger ”), with Merger LLC surviving the Subsequent Merger.
 
On November 11, 2009, the Company also entered into an amendment (the “ Rights Amendment ”) to the Rights Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2009, between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC, a New York limited liability trust company, as Rights Agent, (the “ Rights Agreement ”).  Pursuant to the Rights Amendment, neither Churchill nor any of its affiliates or associates will be deemed an “Acquiring Person” for purposes of the Rights Agreement as a result of the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. Additionally, none of these events will cause the rights issued under the Rights Agreement to be distributed, become exercisable or result in any rights becoming void or an adjustment to the number or types of securities issuable upon exercise of the rights. The Rights Amendment also provides that the Rights Agreement shall be terminated and be of no further force and effect as of the Effective Time.
 
The foregoing summary of the Rights Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rights Amendment, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 4.2 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 13, 2009.
