Steve Beshear says he's a fan of Instant Racing for Kentucky's horse racing tracks—but&nbsp;he's not sure if legalizing the gambling format would be used to fund the state's&nbsp;struggling pension system.</p><p>Meanwhile, Beshear&nbsp;said&nbsp;casino gambling&nbsp;is not happening this year.</p><p>House Democratic leaders says they are looking at&nbsp;legalizing the slots-like game statewide&nbsp;to help generate at least $25 million a year to help fully fund pension obligations. Only two tracks, Ellis Park and Kentucky Downs, currently have the game.</p><p>Beshear did not commit fully to the idea, but said he will not allow lawmakers to ask for budget cuts in 2014 to help pay for pensions.
