Ellis Park Preparing For "Instant Racing"

{Henderson, Kentucky}...Ellis Park owner Ron Geary said Tuesday the track is going ahead with installing gambling machines known as "Instant Racing" in hopes of having them functioning before the Henderson track's summer meet ends on Labor Day. Geary says he's negotiating with investment groups and is seeking a partner to provide $3 million needed to finish remodeling part of the clubhouse into a casino-style facility. In Instant Racing, patrons bet on historic races without knowing the names of the trainers, jockeys or horses involved.
