WEST MEMPHIS Chancellor W Leon Smith ruled Gentry could face field for dog racing at a new plant as Arkansas Racing Commission's action denying Southland Racing Corp's franchise may be reviewed.

Gentry's attorney may file an answer to Southland's petition for review as the case proceeds. If appealed, the Arkansas Supreme Court could be asked to decide if Smith erred in his authority to rule on the commission’s action.
