she's been calling for their closure over new horse racing board claims that horse racing deaths in california are decreasing. the rate of deaths is decreasing, but the california public has shown that we see horses as individuals and every single death is a travesty and every single that is not worth entertainment of whatever people believe is happening here. the 140 acre tract is going to be missed by other residents who say the financial impact will be felt if it's not developed into something else. and it's terrible for the city of albany because get almost a million dollars taxes every year from the owners of the racetrack. so we're going to lose that in our lezla gooden kron. 4 news. >> the owners of golden gate fields put out a statement saying the closure and final day of racing at golden gate fields reflects the ongoing y% and complex economic challenges of the thoroughbred racing industry in california. we've been proud to be part of the 83 year legacy of golden
