{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Kentucky's racetracks and Governor Steve Beshear's administration has filed a motion asking the Kentucky Supreme Court to review a recent appeals court ruling that would send instant racing gambling back to Franklin Circuit Court. Dick Brown, spokesman for the Public Protection Cabinet, including the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, says they're seeking review in the Supreme Court because they believe the trial court was correct in concluding that the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission had statutory authority to adopt the regulation permitting pari-mutuel wagering on historical horse races. The Family Foundation, which challenged the case and won before the Kentucky Court of Appeals, called the racetracks' move "ill-advised." The Family Foundation has 30 days to respond to the state's motion.
