The Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission (KRGC) said three operators looking to build a historical horse racing (HHR) gaming facility in Sedgwick County have until May 1 to submit additional information and documents to complete their applications.

Last month, the gaming commission said it would take 30 days to evaluate the three applications that it had received.

Boyd Gaming Corporation, which currently operates the Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane, filed an application to build an HHR facility in Park City near Hartman Arena.

Phil Ruffin filed to build a facility at the former Wichita Greyhound Park in Park City. Flint Hills Entertainment filed two applications. One is for an HHR facility at Towne West, and the other is for a live racing park in Eureka.
