{Henderson, Kentucky}...Ellis Park owner Ron Geary says the racetrack is ready to begin offering casino-style instant racing, making it the second track in Kentucky to offer instant racing after Kentucky Downs in Franklin began offering it last year. Geary says the parlor with 187 machines will open Friday morning, just in time for Labor Day. The plan is to run the machines from 10:00 A.M. to 2:00 A.M. seven days a week. Instant Racing machines resemble slot machines and allow gamblers to place wagers on previously run but unidentified horse races.
