Columbus, OH — A story on Kentucky.com states that Steven Short, senior vice president of the United Soccer League’s League One, visited the grounds of the Red Mile on Thursday along with some interested parties and Vince Gabbert, Keeneland’s vice president and chief operating officer, who was representing KRM Wagering, the joint venture with Red Mile that has significantly invested in the harness racing track and gaming parlor over the past several years.

With a new stadium rising near the banks of the Ohio River for Louisville City’s wildly successful minor league soccer team, interest is heating up again in Lexington for its own franchise, possibly with its own stadium to boot. The area between Red Mile’s track and its entrance off Red Mile Road appears ample enough at a glance to plop down a soccer venue, one that would be ideally located near the University of Kentucky campus and downtown.
