Kentucky, New York, Florida, and California are the premier states for horse racing. Any thoroughbred track that would close in these states is a serious attack on the industry as a whole.
The sport won't survive if West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, etc. turn into the premier states.

we all know things change. i'd hate to see ky turn its back on one of its greatest industries, but i don't know that turfway going out of business would necessarily be a bad thing. it's been on a slow decline for years.
should there be a better business environment? of course. should turfway and others sit and wait for things to change? of course not. you have to deal with what is, not what you want. obviously other tracks are making it-turfway isn't it. but they're in the same climate as the ones who are making it-it's not all someone else's fault.
