It's like they own a grocery store. Have a bad week and complain they didn't do as well as the week before. Like telling them spend or else. Or else what? Jeff bitches to Jason and he writes some memo. What is the point of the memo? Just a little note to tell you what you already know, a bad week. Like it's your fault. Jeff, Jason stop the shit show, instead of bitching, try working with horseman. Not just the ones who train for you.

"We have received extraordinary support this year from our horsemen and our horseplayers,but we're starting to see some disturbing trends.” said Meadowlands’ Chief Operating Officer and General Manager Jason Settlemoir.  The first weekend of the month saw the only two $4 million handles of the year in North America, as on Friday (March 3) an industry-best $4,519,050 was put in play, while the next night (Saturday, March 4) saw wagering total $4,062,855. Since that time however the handle has been trending downward.
"Unfortunately we have seen a steady drop in handle since that weekend," Settlemoir said. Field size has also become an issue. "Only 12 of our races this weekend had more than 9 starters and we had no 10 horse fields on Saturday which is a cause for concern."

Meadowlands handle March 31: $3,116,846.             Meadowlands handle April 7: $3,071,224
Meadowlands handle April 1:      $3,201,750.             Meadowlands handle April 8: $3,099,751

You can add yesterday as the number of attempts of the lengths that the Gural squad, will do to drum up business.  They deployed new as of yesterday Horseplop member - camfan12, to distract and attempt to poach Horseplop members into their Inside Harness platform to drum up betting with supposed Big M (and huge handle Cumberland LOL) trainers and drivers unsubstantial racing notes, where as Inside Harness is a contracted BigM partner and LMAO integrity platform the track is using to show transparency  73cv.2.

How much do you want to bet if I walked the BigM grounds on a Friday with a sign to drum up biz for Yonkers, I'd be trespassed off the property FOREVER as soon as security and cops were deployed?

Gural, bully, dunce, living out his boyhood dream, from a billionaire perspective.  "Oy vay", go away, and in return I'll bet y'all on Hambo day, it's tradition!   ;D

Thank you stantelman for your affirmation of how badly the meadowlands has become. Sad that it’s gurals team of experts they continue to lose credibility with fans across the globe. What used to be considered the Mecca of harness racing has now become the gutter of harness racing. It’s filled with Gural approves cheaters only from not only the horseman, but the management staff and race office. Complete filth!!!!

In the second sentence of your quote, "but", actually means butt, ya know ass, like thanks but not good enough fuckers, and get the Vaseline out because if these current number maintain, decline, we're gonna....add let's say another 6 AMATEUR races and start at 4:00, 20 race card, divide the current quarter million in purses and lower average purses overall. 

Maybe they should call the place GulfstreamM, bring the Dark Lord Stronach crew in, sheesh Churchill Downs did it with Calder, called it Gulfstream Park West, and boom a 180 revival in the mutual pools before CD put the whole thing to sleep because the Florida court affirmed the rules of not needing a para-mutual to have a casino if already established (and bye bye Pompano Park too with legislation).  Ask Gural what is the status of the BigM Casino, LOL, the NJ voters pull off that scab every 2 or so.., but they got the FanDuel partnership  73cv.2. 

Gural, his team, and the BigM and their beggars cup could rot, they'll stay the course and re-surge likely, however, lol, let me know if their handle freefalls to zero, then cheers.   ;D

Love you  tmbz1, though art seeking solutions.  They, us, no one is gonna like the answer.

Let's first cross off that no one in life should be making more than a handful of investments in their life.  It's stressful.  You study, you wait, you load up and grab your balls and your fire away.  Too late for most of us here.

You learn to handicap, maybe get insider info which we know eh, whatever.  That is 50%, picking winners that is.  The other 50% is knowing how to bet.  Then be ready to do one of 2 things to answer your question which is:

Either no track and cherry pick, get all the entered stakes schedules for trainers and their horses and see their strategy use lifetime past performances, hit all the stakes where the purses outshine the betting pools (with the acceptation outside Harness of the Kentucky Derby lol) and doping would be contrary to logic - Or - a dozen of us or so take over a large track and not in the sense of operations, I mean onsite people with eyes and ears open, binoculars, those chatting it up with everyone, and other crucial offsite components to document every aspect of regulatory, behind the scenes, racing and the complexities better than anyone else.  A blend of inside information and handicapper skills, a sub Horseplop member group could possibly pull it off.

It probably could get funded for a couple of mil, totally legit, and go after the $500mil or so a year wagered at the Big M or Mohawk for example and carve off 5-10% in winning profit over that year.

The reality is sadly we're all going to figure out on our own, individually, and be asking ourselves the same question next year and the year after until harness racing is cycling through its stages of "cancer" brought to you by organized crime, scumbag insiders, crooked politicians, greedy businessmen and casinos.  52xc.2

You missed the part when settlemoir and gural were so happy a few years ago to tell everyone about all this new "liquid" cartel action that agreed to? You know, that was going to help everyone by increasing the pools while giving them huge rebates in exchange fir volume? You seem intimately familiar with the track, maybe start asking some quations about thw caw's before you start talking bullshit? You really chap my ass.

Does anyone hear dabble in the stock market? It is no different.  The big corporations own the majority of many stocks and the little guy goes along with the rise and fall of that stock.  Without the corporations buying and selling, the stock market would never survive with the small investor.  Enjoy betting and watching the races instead of finding issues to knock harness tracks.  If you want harness tracks to close then why be here championing that? If somebody disliked something so much why even bother with it? Move on and enjoy something that gives you pleasure, not something that appears to make you upset.

Once upon a time it made sense what you said regarding (Harness Track) fan loyalty is due or die, not the case anymore virtually anywhere.  Pompano  Park closed because a casino came in and when they bought off the legislatures, they could then operate without racing.  Slots make them money, more than Meadowlands and Mohawk combined kind of money.

Horsemen need a better lobby or all the tracks being held hostage by needing pari-mutual will topple soon.  Canada, well Mohawk survives on its own, other tracks not tied to casinos are subsidized by the Canadian govt, they actually all are to insure.

What you said about corps owning the stocks wrong too, see the list on this link (below) - It's Asset Management Firms, and those number you'll read are in the thousands of billions ya know trillions of dollars what each is holding in assets.

https://www.advratings.com/top-asset-management-firms

Your heart is in the right place my brother, but telling people to shut up and enjoy is a contradiction, if fans have a beef they should be heard, maybe overcome and co-exist and enjoy. 

You get a "D-" for facts but an "A" from the Race Tracks, and "C" from me for change is a coming, whether we like it or not.   ;D

Back up, Sparkey. I did say I never disagreed with anything you said. I only pointed out the elephant in the room. The product. No need to gaslight me with your masterbation obbsession.   

And I don't disagree with you either, your thoughtful observation and analysis of the outcome.  The "product" I once LOVED put Walter Case Jr., on a 10-1 ml breaking piece of shit that lost the last 8 races that he actually finished by a combined 150 lengths and I witnessed magic.  Leave, break from the eight hole, recover, trot like a monster to the top and win for fun at fav or second choice.  Because we all knew, we believed in magic and wanted to be nowhere else.

I bring of Case because of his SYMBIOTIC relationship in a bike with his "lover", the horse and not in a sexual context, but the performance.  That symbiosis example is an analogy of what was mine and what was yours, and others once upon a time, and whatever else was going on was superfluous I just wanted to be there.

Case not in the hall of fame, and tracks closing, and blah blah blah and all led in this direction by sellouts but the worst perpetrators where the PERCEPTION police seeking blame --- fall guys, the fans.  To keep cover on their crimes, to cover up their inability to make something work (THAT IS BEAUTY TO US) and too busy conniving and cheating led to predators - casinos, developers, and the detriment to horses just worsening.  They never loved racing, just a means to a financial end and they're killing it, and keep killing it.

Maybe we'll make a difference, keep adapting, I dunno, but we're as mad as hell, and in the interim we got to focus and make money and enjoy too!   ;D

Bottom line with the cartel action is that the small time regular bettor is getting screwed out of price action each and every race. Add in the breakage ( Kentucky the only state to break to the penny) over time and all the nonsense talk of 15 % special exotics and 17-20% WPS/Exacta is not reality. Cannot remotely compare to sports betting and this is why the sports best days are far in the rear view mirror.

!0-12 % takeout should be standard across the board and payouts to the penny with today's technology.

You can keep your head in the sand and look like a bigger moron than you really are. It’s $1,000 per week jackass.

The only one that disgusts me more than the BigM, is YOU stanetelman.  Libel, forgery, copy, and paste - got it!  Here's a trending tip, get a bottle of Night Train follow the pigeon shit trail to the dumpsters in the back of the BigM and have a blast with your dates downtrending your mouth on the Bum Cock Buffet.  ;D

This is surprising as the Saturday cards are  better than the Friday cards.

It was a weather cancellation half way through the card (4/22/23), maybe take a nap now.   tmbz1
