Default State of racing in 5 years

Just curious, does anyone think racing will be vastly different in 5 or 10 years? How many middle to low end tracks will go away?

In my opinion, I think you will see many tracks disapear in the next decade, especially those without casino funding.

Or is there another solution that gets this game viable again?

Thanks...Everyone on this board wants racing to succeed. Me being gone means less handle, not more. Racing will always be here, but the initial question is a good one....For one thing there are fewer horses being born which down the line will have a major effect.

If the intial question was good, why did you not respond like this then? If so, I would have had nothing to say.

Fair enough.

Less racing. Less tracks. Less purses...My guess just on general economic basis+horse decrease.
