Take California for example. The single, most-compelling reason to maintain racing in the north is the breeding industry. Without California breds, what happens to racing in the SoCal area?
Take New York for example. If Finger Lakes were to fold, what would be the impact on New York breeding and correspondingly, NYRA's pipeline to the New York bred horses to fill cards? (Disclosure : I do not immediately understand the answer to this question, however the need for a "B"-track circuit is clear.)

So if a track closes, how is that called "survival?"
That's my disconnect.
