Title: Edison Hatter says he is no longer at Big M

I am no longer an employee of the Meadowlands Racetrack. I thank the Meadowlands for the opportunities I was given over the last few years and I look forward to devoting my time to Freehold Raceway, In The Money Media, and other opportunities in the future.

Interesting. But agree he has more opportunity else where.

The Big M is a stepping stone to other bigger and better things. I wish him well on his future endeavors.

Freehold will probably be temporary. The guy is in demand.  I was surprised when just last Saturday he managed to do the Adios broadcast and still make it to M.   He must have ridden on the plane with the drivers. 

Good luck Mr Hatter.

Edison race reviews in the program were uninteresting and provided zero value. He would write facts that could easily seen on the program.

Such and such Was 3rd last week. Raced 3 times this year. Make 60k this year.

At least Gary Deloeo includes some opinions

Hundred percent agree. I dont need him to see chalk on a blackboard. Thought he was smug and disinterested on the Adios broadcast and I sat thru the entire day. He asks a question of accomplished horse people, then starts looking away as they begin speaking. Hate that trait in people. Weird little character.

Not a big fan of deleos antics. Those may be at the bosses behest though.

Hatter seemed like a decent guy. Apparently has an iq that exceeds the combined total of the entire horseplop crew (myself included). That said doesnt have the personality thats needed fir tv.

I wish him very well though.

Not that any of this matters.  I gather some believe  public relations and better advertising would enhance product.

IMHO-as the brits say "not bloody likely". The sport is in its death spiral. Its the oxygen of public subsidies and magnet of casino acquisition that are keeping this dying industry alive. Industry needs to understand where its at; what it is if it wants to save even a small salvagable segment.  Gural might do low cost corny pr stuff because the state of the industry  only warrants that much.

As an outsider it looks to me like thats whats going on. A lot of stakeholders appear to have given up on marketing  the product  as a waste of $. Rather, appears trying to squeeze the last few $$$ out of gvt subsidies before the gvt and public recognize the foolishness and realize their paying to rejuvenate a corpse. Funny thing is it looks like industry stakeholders are saying only the track owner needs to put up $ while a lot are part of the move to squeeze their last $ profits from it.

Just heard having a hat contest tomorrow in am at track. Had no idea. The electric current lines that the hat zaps with  is classic.

Bam, zoom, zonk. Im sure batman still would kick the mad hatter's ass. But 2 episode show. I always faded batman in first episode fight but dumped big $ on him and the boy wonder to kick ass in the 2nd episode. Only angle that ever worked well for me.

It had to be a money issue. Hatter now is seen at other tracks on their big days and they get him for a reason. He does a nice job. Hatter still works full time too with a high-tech job and has a bright future.  Years ago the meadowland had another upcoming person who also moved on as opposed to moving up in position. Darren Zoccali and now is doing very well with other horse racing venues.

Tough job.  If it is aimed at the bettors it is way over the heads of new/young people. If it is aimed to attract new and younger patrons it is boring to rest. 

So it gives man on plop to bitch depending on their stance.
