Ruling Soon On Instant Racing
KENTUCKY...
The judge hearing the case has said he plans to rule by early January.
The state's racetracks and racing regulators have asked for a ruling from Franklin Circuit Court on whether the gambling used in Arkansas would be legal in Kentucky before implementing it.
The plan is opposed by the Family Foundation of Kentucky, which claims state law would not allow it.
The wagering -- called Instant Racing -- lets gamblers bet on randomly selected past races.
