Re: Erica pulls out of Sonoma & Seattle
I was being sarcastic.
I think that it's fair to say that money is in (relative) short supply for most, and with no durable recovery in sight, those with discretionary money don't want to squander it if they don't have to. I wouldn't even guess about the financials of the folks who fund that team, but if I were a bettin' man, I would say that ROI and spend forecasting (for the rest of the season, next year, etc) have a lot to do with how they determine their racing schedule.
To your point, the added cost to cover the Western Swing (time and money) probably doesn't help matters much.
