It's pretty simple. Ellis gets killed off, the horsemen move their lower-level stock to Indiana for the midsummer, Turfway gets killed off, the horsemen move to Tampa or whatever for the winter, next thing you know they don't return for the Churchill or Keeneland meet because they're happy where they are. Churchill and Keeneland cannot exist as boutique meets. If you don't notice the decimation of Churchill this season I can't help you see what I mean.
