Kentucky Making Inroads Into Casino-Style Gambling


FRANKLIN, Ky. (AP) - Kentucky, the state of bourbon and bluegrass, hasn't yet approved casino gambling, but there's one spot that's making inroads.

In tiny Franklin, near where Andrew Jackson and Sam Houston fought separate duels in the 1800s, Kentucky Downs horse racing track and simulcasting facility has offered "Instant Racing" since Sept. 1. It's the site of Kentucky's first gaming machines. And newly re-elected Gov. Steve Beshear wants more elsewhere.

KY Downs is a cozt little racetrack.I recommend you stop in if you are driving thru KY.It is a turf only racetrack which I enjoyed very much.

Ellis Park inKY will be the 2nd track in KY to put in the Instant Racing machines.They should be open this spring while live racing starts in July.
