Revolutionary Racing Kentucky LLC has applied for the ninth and final horse track license in Kentucky and has designs on building a quarter horse track in Boyd County, which is in the northeastern part of the state and has a population of near 50,000.

Not much is clear about Revolutionary Racing Kentucky, although its website lists one of its leaders as Prentice Salter, who is also the President of ELS Gaming.
