Default Less Racing

The fact that our best meets are the shortest in duration is also a sign that we have way too many races and way too many tracks with live racing in the country.

Does anyone complain about the quality and fields at Saratoga, Keeneland (April and October), and to a lesser extent Del Mar.....

We need to cut the number of tracks down in half.....
Simulcasting should continue at those venues that do not race... The only question to answer would be the amount of people employed by our industry that would suffer....

Do we really need live racing at Delaware, Monmouth and Pimilico all at the same time?

There are too many tracks with shared dates....

With less tracks running, the remaining tracks should be able to field fuller fields for at least 5 days a week.

I know the state of racing in Northern California is really sad. Although i live in the area, i own horses that will be racing in New York State. I for one would not miss live racing year round at Bay Meadows or Golden Gate Fields. Each track could race 3 months a year.
