Gov. Steve Beshear is considering multiple options in the efforts to get the General Assembly to support expanded gambling legislation.A constitutional amendment failed earlier this year in the state Senate -- and a major complaint from critics was that the amendment did too much to protect thoroughbred racing tracks over other businesses. The bill banned casinos from being within 60 miles of a race track, unless the casino was at the track.Next time around, protections for the horse industry don't have to be specifically written into a constitutional amendment, Beshear said.“But whether we make sure we help the horse industry in the amendment itself or whether we do it in enabling legislation I think is an open question," Beshear said."I think that you can make sure some of the money goes to the horse industry in enabling legislation that is passed after a constitutional amendment is passed."Beshear said he hasn’t settled yet on a proposal. But he has reached out to other leaders, including Agriculture Commissioner James Comer and House Speaker Greg Stumbo.The governor said the proposal must help tracks increases purses and breeders' incentives.
