Very few of the tracks actually deserve to stay open. They continually give our money out in short fields that provide little to no entertainment. They just had a three horse field at Belmont. All they care about is these powerful trainers etc. getting easy checks for beating hardly anybody. So, they can close 'em all up until they learn how to provide actual entertainment. Doesn't do any good to tell them what's wrong with the product. They don't want to have to actually compete for purse money. Look at the races at Hwd today. The first four races have 104k in purse money, and folks it goes towards providing almost zero entertainment (26 horses in 4 races.) You've got 104k to divide up in some way, and that is not the entertaining way to do it. So, close. The industry is full of people that need to wake the fk up. You don't have to be a damn genius to stop giving out money to people for beating 5 horses. Just stop it. Very few of us give a damn about those fields. There aren't enough people (that weak) to prop you up. I don't care if you only run 3 days a week. Whenever you do run, have good fields, or don't run. Period. Get it? No? Stay stubborn, and drive it into the ground.
