No pari mutuels in Tenn.

Closest are kentucky downs, Churchill, Keeneland, Southland (w. Memphis dog track) and Birmingham dog track

Kentucky downs and keep an eye on when they are open because the hours are really limited...I lived in Nashville for a few years and it is horrible for the horse player....

there is a one day jump event in the Bellevue area that I think has wagering...

Their hours are longer now since they have Instant Racing. The web site says 10 am - 2 am but that is likely for the Instant Racing area. However, their simulcast schedule http://www.kentuckydowns.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/May2014Draft.pdf makes it appear they are open pretty late when Los Alamitos is running.

Years ago TN passed legislation making PM wagering legal.
Not one track or wagering facility was ever proposed.
From 1987
This is most likely due to this being a law requiring a county wide referendum for a horse racing facility to be approved.
