Kentucky Downs Prepares For Instant Racing

{Kentucky}...Kentucky Downs will spend more than $3 million and hire 85 people to implement the game in which gamblers bet on past horse races. On Friday, the racetrack held a job fair to fill positions at the new parlor that will feature 200 instant racing terminals which are connected to a server that holds 21,000 historic races. People place bets without knowing which race they are wagering on and a screen shows the last three seconds of the race to reveal the result. Kentucky Downs will be the first track in the state to install the instant racing machines when they open in early September.
