Historical horse racing is a billion dollar industry for Kentucky.

But after the state Supreme Court made a decision on their legality under the law, then later denied a petition for a rehearing, hundreds of terminals are shut down.

On Sunday, Keeneland and Red Mile announced that their historical horse racing terminals would be temporarily closing.

“We shut down all 900 of our historical horse racing terminals and we have 302 employees that right now, are very concerned they don’t have a job to come back to,” said Mary Catherine Jones, the marketing director at Red Mile.

Jones says the installation of the machines last decade helped to revitalize the old track.
