Former Governor Edgar Worries About Future of Horseracing

Former Governor and racehorse owner Jim Edgar says Illinois' horse racing industry is struggling down the stretch.

 

 

Edgar believes bringing slot machines to race tracks would help.

 

 

Low payouts in recent years forced Edgar to begin entering his race horses in races at Indiana tracks. Edgar cited bigger payouts there because Indiana has slot machines at its tracks.
