RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - State legislators are considering a new form of pari-mutuel betting aimed at horse racing fans as a possible answer to Virginia's transportation-funding woes.

Legislation filed for the General Assembly's special session would pave the way for "instant racing," a game in which bettors can wager on races that have already been run.

Sounds like fun! Here is a link to the story.

How do these things work? I assume this is the same as Oaklawn. Do they change the names of the horses?
