I can see the smaller California outlets either being forced to adapt to these changes, or going out of business. The larger outlets have the money to leave California, so it will be interesting to see if they stay or go. Either way, I think that Stronach and Co. are looking at a future consisting of smaller fields and possibly canceled dates due to horse shortages at the entry box.
What bothers me is that they maintain that the track surface is safe, yet are not being thorough and transparent as to what degree "safe" entails.
The announcement of the ban on raceday meds seems like a rash decision in the face of a very difficult situation, especially when larger, richer outfits can take their ball and go elsewhere.
