After a KyCIR story showed Kentucky was more secretive than other horse-racing states, the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission is releasing details about horse racing fatalities.
Officials from other major racing states share which horses die, where and when. The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission largely keeps that secret.
Keeneland, Ellis Park, Kentucky Downs and two machine manufacturers paid more than $845,000 for testing services with virtually no direct oversight from the horse racing commission.
Union halls, churches and other groups have paid the Jefferson County Clerk’s Office for decades to use their voting machines and employees for their private elections. The state auditor’s office has questioned the program’s legality.
