There is this ridiculous assumption that fewer tracks would result in more horses. It will actually lead to a lower demand for horses resulting in a much lower foal crop. Not to mention fewer owners, trainers, grooms jockeys, etc.

I agree with Andy C. Costs are the same for horses that win as for horses than can't. Horses that can't won't pay the bills won't be around the racing barn long.
Hate to hear about prospect of losing GG. I've only recently taken an interest in it as a year round option.
