Instant Racing Proposal Not Moving
KENTUCKY...
Legislation to allow Kentucky race tracks to offer a form of wagering based on old horse races appeared to drop out of contention Thursday after its leading supporter said he couldn't muster sufficient support. Sen. Damon Thayer sees the Instant Racing electronic game as a way to boost racing in Kentucky, but acknowledged that his proposal had been sidetracked by opponents. Earlier this month, the measure to authorize Instant Racing had cleared the Senate panel with strong bipartisan support but then never got a vote in the Senate. Instead, it was sent back to committee. The legislation is House Bill 368.
