Bloodhorse – Angst – Pro-Racing Kentucky Legislators Target ‘Gray Games’
TDN – Gordon and Petrunyak – Gray Machines Pose Major Threat to Kentucky’s HHR, Horse Racing
Sal says that the Kentucky legislators are pro-active in their support for racing and ensuring that gambling pays its fair share of taxes and is properly regulated.

How much easier would it be to balance the Alberta budget if grey market gambling was eliminated or paid its fair share of taxes.
Out-innovating them is the way to beat China. And to do everything that we do in this country to support innovative policy, that drives innovation and new products and more jobs and creates jobs. You can’t – you can’t put a wall up around here. We tried that in the ’30s. It didn’t work.

Would the odds be lower or higher than Baffert’s suing in a Kentucky Court.

Racing can bring those thrills that you can’t really experience anywhere else. It got the wheels turning of how we could bring more people in.”
