April 10 — Owensboro Racing & Gaming is temporarily closed due to water covering the roadway near the entrance to the facility.
“This proactive measure is taken to ensure the safety of our guests, team members and the surrounding community,” officials said in a release. “During this temporary closure, all scheduled events and gaming operations have been postponed. We are committed to a swift and safe reopening once it is determined that the risk has passed. Guests are encouraged to check our website and social media channels for real-time updates on reopening dates.”
The facility is located on Wrights Landing Road between U.S. 60 East and KY 2830. On Wednesday, water rose high enough to cover a portion of Wrights Landing Road near the driveway to the Racing & Gaming parking lot.
