I think it is safe to say that Kentucky is much closer today to having slots at the racetracks then it was yesterday, but they still have a long, long way to go before seeing a quarter machine at Churchill Downs.

Ought to be interesting to see how this plays out...

And here I thought "alternative gaming meant" (Ky -2.5 over Louisville this winter) You let the good citizens of Ky bet basketball in that state ans we'll see some real cash for the game. This is the Delaware Park plan set to tale off next april if you talk with the racing admin folks there. The Delaware meet may significantly shorten next year so this is their plan to make up lost revenue

No way that you'll get Louisville +2.5 after that UK embarrassment last evening. Ah for the good ol' Tubby Smith days.

Hm.

Guess last-minute gay-baiters can't win 'em all.

He makes a good point about the Senate Republicans, but one of those Senators is Damon Thayer, formerly of Turfway Park and now with the Breeders Cup. One down, six to go.
