Cost to racing industry???

Just a thought, just what is the cost of this outbreak to the racingindustry? Sure they have some losses, but racing and thereforegambling is still going ahead. As long as there is racing somewhere,gamblers will continue to bet, it would be interesting to see justhow much the TAB revenue is down, I expect not by too much!! The onlything I can see it effecting is punters who would normally attend oneof the effected race meetings, but they can still go to the TABoffice and bet on another race somewhere. This is in total contrastto people outside the racing industry, who's whole livelihood hasstopped and will continue to do so for many months. The media andgovernment must move some of the emphasis away from racing and ontothe rest of the industry, before it creates to large a rift.
