The President of Churchill Downs says he'll push again for more gambling at horse tracks in Kentucky.

Bob Evans made the statement November 6 in a conference call with investors and analysts.

Churchill Downs supported a measure earlier this year that would have amended Kentucky's constitution to allow casinos at racetracks and other locations.

That measure failed in the General Assembly.

Evans says passage of a referendum to allow slot machines at Maryland horse tracks leaves Kentucky as the only state that hosts a Triple Crown race not to allow slot machines at its tracks.
