HENDERSON, Ky. - Riverside Downs, a longtime horse training facility, has been closed in western Kentucky, another blow to local horsemen worried Ellis Park will close its doors for good following the 2009 meet.
Henderson-based trainer John Hancock says the facility and barns are now closed. He's leased the facility since December from Cross International.
Hancock told The Gleaner in Henderson that uncertainty surrounding Ellis Park was a factor in his decision to close.
He says seven or eight other trainers were using the facilities until Ellis Park opened its barns in May.
Ellis Park owner Ron Geary has said the track will almost certainly close at the end of this year's meet after a bill that would have permitted Kentucky racetracks to operate electronic slot machines failed in the legislature.
