Woodlands seeks shorter season for Kansas horse track
Sunflower Racing Inc. asked the Kansas Racing Commission to cut the Woodlands horse racing schedule from 75 days to 59 to curb losses projected at 5.6 to 5.8 million dollars this year. Opponents warned shorter racing would harm breeders and trainers while increasing dog races at the Woodlands complex in Kansas City. The commission did not act and must set 1992 dates.
