It&rsquo;s the fourth year in a row that legislation failed to make it through.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">House Bill 606, sponsored by Rep. Adam Koenig, was approved in the 100-member House in a 58-30 vote in March. But the bill faced resistance in the Senate, where Republicans outnumber Democrats 30-8. Senate president Robert Stivers had said he didn&rsquo;t believe the votes existed in the Senate to approve the sports wagering bill, and the bill didn&rsquo;t get a formal vote.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">Senate majority leader Damon Thayer, a sports betting supporter, said he was disappointed in the outcome but will continue to advocate for sports betting in next year&rsquo;s legislative session, beginning in January 2023.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">HB 606 would have allowed Kentucky&rsquo;s licensed horse tracks, including Churchill Downs and Keeneland, to partner with a mobile sports betting operators such as DraftKings, FanDuel, or Caesars. Licensees would have been allowed to offer in-person sports betting at horse tracks and two other track-owned facilities &ndash; such as a gaming hall or simulcast facility &mdash; through sportsbooks licensed by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission (KHRC).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size:14.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">Koenig claimed the bill would have generated an estimated $22.5m in annual revenue for the state.
