Hi Buster
These thing need to be addressed in time but once something is gone its hard to get back even the punter, in SA around 10-15 years ago they shut down several small tracks in the north instead of upgrading them leaving only Port Pirie & Whyalla for the whole entire north of the state 2 and 5 hours from Adelaide there was hundreds of horses, loads of trainer and driver and strong enthusiasm for the sport that attended most meetings once they shut the tracks down it nearly killed sport and all of that lost interest owners, breeders,trainers drivers and punters that get handed down to the next generation.
