Horse Racing Industry

The New Zealand horse racing industry is in crisis. That's the view of a new report just out. The problem is though, if a lot of these race courses are to close down, that'll gut small towns who rely on the work these places create, whether that be on the track, buildings or horses themselves. For a lot of towns, the local track is the reason the town exists at all. I don't have all the answers, but maybe they could look at other uses for these tracks, not just use them for horses. Once they're gone, that's it, gone forever and many towns will also fade.
