On Monday, October 24, thoroughbred raceway Ellis Park got the green light from the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission to add 'instant racing' terminals

to its gaming offerings.

According to a report on courierpress.com, the instant racing machines will be up and running sometime within the first three months of 2012.

"It's a very big day for Ellis Park and the Tri-state and Henderson and everybody," Ellis Park owner Ron Geary was quoted as saying. "I'm a pretty happy camper."
