You speak as if those affected will never earn again. Life goes on.

Exactly correct, subsidies just delay the inevitable and are very inefficient

Wrong. Thoroughbred racing would handle that no matter what the purses. See: Mountaineer.

Sad really, Kawartha handled $120,000 on Tuesdays so what do they do...race Saturdays against WEG.
Can't help but shake your head.

Put these numbers in front of one of the many entitled Ontario horsemen and they'd look at them and you like you had three heads.  Name me another business in operation that could survive given this plus-minus.  I say scrap all the tracks that can't support themselves (handle greater than purse) and may only the strong survive, just like in any other business.  So what if there's no Hiawatha, no Clinton, etc..  Maybe the product and overall competition will get a little stronger with less watering down to all these dump tracks, which might in turn lead to less buddy-buddy driving tactics, which might lead to, which might lead to, which might lead to.

Well, not really.

I believe the track is paying $300 to each horse that was entered (except for the ones in the pacing series)
