It won't matter though. In five years there won't be enough horses left to run except a few tracks. It might take ten years, but it depends on how hard they squeeze the available stock.

It's sort of a side note in the "is boycotting right/effective" debate, but this point should not be overlooked. It is not profitable to breed and race horses in the United States now. The lack of horses has been hurting field size and the quality of racing and unless something changes it's not going to get better. Tracks that are struggling and scrambling to hang on are going to go away no matter what their takeout.
