The owners of Sports Creek, a shuttered horse racing track that closed five years ago, have been granted a conditional license and permit to reopen next year, but it’s not a certainty that they will. AmRace & Sports LLC still needs a grandstand inspection, information on its plans for track security and an emergency preparedness plan before it can host live or simulcast racing, the Michigan Gaming Control Board said in a news release Thursday, Oct. 31. ... Perhaps as important, AmRace & Sports officials have told MLive-The Flint Journal previously that they need changes in state law, including provisions to allow for cell phone gambling, to make reopening the track a realistic business proposition.
