Courier-journal.com has today cited Thayer as saying that it would take a “perfect storm” to advance the Bill at this point, although he still believes instant racing is a pari-mutuel game.

The article also states that Thayer has heard negative feedback regarding the possible implementation of instant racing from anti-gambling groups and House leaders.
