Cumberland Run, Kentucky’s newest harness racing track – the third in the state -- held its grand opening Sunday, and despite the weather in Corbin, officials say turnout was good. Corbin is part of three counties, and one of the VIPs for the ribbon-cutting ceremony was Knox County Judge-Executive Mike Mitchell. He said the atmosphere was great.
“This is a historical thing for, well, all of eastern Kentucky, but especially Corbin, Knox County, this is the first time that there's been anything like racing in this area.”
