The Kentucky Supreme Court has ruled that the slot-like historical horse racing system does not constitute pari-mutuel wagering, overturning a Franklin Circuit Court judge’s 2018 ruling, according to a report on WDRB.com.
“We acknowledge the importance and significance of this industry to this Commonwealth. We appreciate the numerable economic pressures that impact it,” the high court said. “If a change, however, in the long-accepted definition of pari-mutuel wagering is to be made that change must be made by the people of this Commonwealth through their duly-elected legislators, not by an appointed administrative body and not by the judiciary.”
