How will slots help the bettor, they are the blood of the horse industry? The horse industry had a monopoly on gambling at one time,now it doesn't but does very little to help bettor. The industry complained about the "Go Baby Go" ad but I still here it today,evan at the track

Move the Kentucky Cup to Churchill Downs. Wouldn't hurt would it? I can't believe the politicians in Kentucky are not doing anything to help racing. It is a no brainer to have casinos. I guess there are no brains left in KY at this point.

Maybe Keeneland should move their horse sale to Ohio, West Virginia, Tennessee or Missouri and Let them reap the benefits of selling millions upon millions of dollars of horse's, collecting 6% sales tax. GEEZ...what the heck will it take to wake up these dumb freakin politicians in our state??? Seriously, every state bordering KY has a Casino and it makes one wonder if the casino money may be filtering into Ky. politics...Hmmm.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that in a year or two (or even ten, for that matter) someone will notice that only 17 people are attending the races -- so let's do away with the racing entirely and just have slots. I am a racing fan -- I love the game, and I think that racing has to sell itself, if that is possible in today's market. It has such a rich history, and I don't want it to be cheapened by other forms of gambling.

Not that the horse racing industry needs another wake up call, but here it is. Act as a unified voice and a unified industry. I'm an avid horse fan at the end of my rope with you idiots. Think "what would Frank Stronach do", then do the exact opposite....

Kentucky need slots in the worst way. Was just in WV over the weekend at dog track. only 17 people watching dog races, while cascino was packed. This is the key to any racetrack's viability any more, yes even KY's tracks.
