I was thinking would this really be a bad end result for horse racing in the U.S.? It would be a trend moving towards a closed horse racing system. I'm just uncertain if 10 tracks is the correct number. Similar to HK racing, the same number of horses competing. Competitive fields and annually the handle will probably be in the high double digit multi-billions. Since expenses should be lower, the track take-out should be lowered. The downside will be that most track executives and racing commissioners will be unemployed and wondering what went wrong.
But, I haven't really thought this through.
