Now, Japan has casinos. Japanese people love to wager. They can wager on power boat racing. There are Pachinko machines everywhere. The reason i mention this is Japanese people have tons of gaming or gambling opportunities. So that excuse used by many here in the US doesn't wash.
So someone please explain how it is that a country with on quarter the land mass and one half the population can get 14 horses to start each race....AND get more people to be more money on the product.
And all track managements here can do is make excuses.
Could it be that we here in the US and Canada just aren't doing it right?
You need to lay out all the dynamics of the places you mention. The cost to own, the cost to run, the taxes, etc etc. Insurance, etc. Feed.

How many tracks run in China?

How many run in Australia?
