Kentucky Racing Law Declared Unconstitutional Latonia Wins
In Kenton county circuit court Judge Harbeson ruled the Kentucky law creating the racing commission unconstitutional. The Latonia Jockey Club in Covington gains a complete victory, as the decision blocks the commission from regulating both trotting and running races and allows Latonia to operate without mandatory pari mutuel machines or bookmakers. The ruling restates that the commission must have specific authority over each racing form. The Latonia club previously faced injunctions and financial disputes over machine use and bookmaker involvement.
