The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission has awarded a license for a new facility with plans to offer quarter horse racing in the state.
Revolutionary Racing will build in Ashland, Kentucky and feature an American quarter horse "sprint racing" track and a historical horse racing facility, Gov. Andy Beshear's administration said Tuesday.
Historical racing machines allow people to bet on randomly generated, past horse races. The games typically show video of condensed horse races.
