“We are especially disappointed to have to drop the Kentucky Cup Day of Champions,” Elliston continued in a statement. “Great horses came from all over for those races, and they’ve had a significant impact on the Breeders’ Cup. If the state legislature allows us to level the playing field with surrounding states that enhance their purses with gaming revenue, the Kentucky Cup would be high on the list of races we would restore.”
In other words, there aren't enough drug addicts, alcoholics or just flat out POOR PEOPLE in Kentucky so why not give them something else to spend their money on?
