What if airlines cut back on maintenance?

I ran across this on TheHorse.com.

"...not all jurisdictions require pre-race veterinary inspections. The primary constraint on this practice is, understandably, financial. Racetracks are cutting purses, and state agencies have been forced to undergo significant personnel and budget cuts. Everybody is being asked to do more with less, and this trend can only be expected to continue. But at the same time, state governments are considering expanding or tapping further into the proceeds from gambling as a way to increase their revenues."

Who is the imbecile that thought cutting back on safety was the way to go? I can do without paper towels in the bathroom; some cutbacks are just asinine.

The NTRA should make a list of all tracks that are not in compliance with all safety procedure recommendations and post them on their website. Enough is enough.
