“Next week, I will file legislation to keep historical horse racing operational in Kentucky,” Schickel said in a statement. “The bill, which I am pleased to say will be co-sponsored by Senate President Robert Stivers (R), will address the recent Kentucky Supreme Court decision on pari-mutuel wagering and ensure that historical horse racing facilities are able to continue operating, while employing Kentuckians, generating state tax revenue and strengthening our signature equine industry.
