California racing is in trouble.

The figures they put out were 12,077. In comparison opening day got 21,750 this year. I wonder if them pushing back the schedule affected attendance as people decided to spend their free time doing something else (like watching football?)
Nevertheless that is lower than some of the bigger race days at Santa Anita like the Santa Anita Derby or Big Cap day.
