WITH JULIETTE GOODRICH. >> NO MORE DOLLAR DAYS, NO MORE SUNDAY BRUNCHES, NO MORE BETTING ON HORSES. GOLDEN GATE FIELD IS SHUTTING DOWN ITS RACETRACK AT THE END OF THIS YEAR PUTTING THE SPORT IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA IN QUESTION. THE TRACK ON THE ALBANY/BERKELEY BORDER HAS BEEN IN OPERATION FOR 80 YEARS, NOW THE TRACK'S OWNER IS READY TO LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND AND DOUBLE DOWN ON ITS RACETRACK IN SANTA ANITA. THE PLAN IS TO MOVE MANY OF THE HORSES FROM THE BAY AREA DOWN SOUTH WITH A GOAL OF EXPANDING RACING THERE. WE TALKED WITH A WOMAN WHO IS SAD TO SEE THE RACETRACK CLOSE AND SHARED FOND MEMORIES WITH US. >> BEEN HERE SINCE 1997, I WENT TO THE RACETRACK WITH MY BROTHER-IN-LAW, MY SISTER'S HUSBAND. I HAD $2. I PLAY TODAY ON A HORSE CALLED MANNY. AND THE LONE SHARK HE WAS, I WON $172. >> RACING HAS BEEN UNDER SCRUTINY BY ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS. EIGHT HORSES HAVE DIED AT THE LOCAL TRACK THIS YEAR DESPITE INCREASED SAFETY PROTOCOLS REQUIRED BY THE STATE. WHAT DOES THIS MOVE MEAN FOR WORKERS? THE COMPANY SAYS THEY ARE AWARE OF THE EFFECTS ON EMPLOYEES, TRAINERS, STABLE WORKERS. IT IS COMMITTING TO HONORING LABOR OPERATIONS IN THE LAND THAT THE RACETRACK SITS ON THE MAYOR ISSUED THIS STATEMENT SAYING THE NEWS, QUOTE, PRESENTS EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE 140 ACRE SITE AND ADDS IT IS TOO EARLY TO SPECULATE ON WHAT WILL REPLACE THE TRACK. THE PRIORITY RIGHT NOW NEEDS TO BE ON WORKERS IMPACTED AND MAKING SURE THE HORSES ARE GIVEN CARE. WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE SPORT ALL TOGETHER? RACEHORSING AROUND COUNTY FAIR. GOLDEN GATE FIELD IS THE LAST RACETRACK WHERE SEASONAL RACING IS STILL HAPPENING. EARLIER TODAY, I TALKED TO AN EXPERT WHO SAYS THEY HAVE TO COME TOGETHER TO SAVE THE SPORT FROM DISAPPEARING FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. >> WORSE CASE SCENARIO, NO HORSE RACING IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA NEXT YEAR. THAT IS BOTTOM LINE WORSE CASE SCENARIO. THOSE PEOPLE HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE. IF WE ARE NOT IN PLACE TO TAKE THEM IN TWO THINGS WILL HAPPEN, SOME WILL GO TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND SOME WILL QUIT THE GAME IN GENERAL AND WE SAW IT HAPPEN YEARS AGO HERE WHEN PLEASANTON CEASED TO BE A TRAINING FACILITY. A LOT OF NICE TRAINERS AND PEOPLE JUST GOT OUT OF THE INDUSTRY. WE NEED TO LOOK AT IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY, GET TOGETHER ON IT AND GET THINGS DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE THE SOONER THE BETTER, RIGHT? HI TO FIND SOMETHING SOLID FOR HIM. >> Reporter: DENNIS MILLER SAYS THOSE INVOLVED IN
