Sports wagering is now in the books in Kentucky. The Kentucky Racing Commission has six months to set up the regulatory framework. Jim Goodman is the director of wagering development at Keeneland. He said there are some similarities between those who bet on the ponies and those watching the over and under on basketball games.
“General horseplayers who are challenged by the mathematics about horse racing, about looking at the numbers, about looking at the past performances, and that’s a mental challenge for them. They do migrate to sports wagering quite a bit,” said Goodman.
