Brodie I wouldn't worry about things, if the stakes are reduced then the stakes are reduced, it would be a learning curve, Iive within your means, shame they ain't doing that now but it's not sustainable based on the income,(turnover) but at present with small fields and good stakes the few left racing horses are probably doing very well, but nothing last forever.
The 2 meetings up North is not sustainable every week, I think they are starting to see that, they survive nicely at the other end of the country with 1 day, I don't even think they want any more days, just make use of the ones they have.
Same things happening to some of our sport, the Netballers are slowly dieing off and unless the Rugby union can move Sky on the NPC then many in that will be taking a pay cut too, Moana Pacifica is another example, money's not plentiful for many of us, fact.
