World renown harness racing driver and inductee to the Hall of Fame, Brian Sears has been barred from racing in the elimination divisions of the $700,000 Meadowlands Pace on Saturday, July 7 at the Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford, NJ.

It had been four years since Meadowlands owner Jeff Gural first barred Sears from the track. That dispute began on Friday, June 20, 2014 when Sears told Gural that he was going to drive at Yonkers Raceway and not at the Meadowlands except for stakes events.

Trainer Jimmy Takter had listed Sears to drive the three-year-old pacer, Thinkbig Dreambig, in the 6th race this Saturday, but when the draw for post positions took place, there was no driver listed for Thinkbig Dreambig, who drew post position seven.

Because the Meadowlands Pace is owned by the Meadowlands Racetrack, Gural is allowed to say who can and who cannot compete in their stakes race.

Sears had this to say about the barring.

“Well, I heard that since it is a Meadowlands race,” Sears explained. “He (Jeff Gural) and keep me out. It’s very disheartening and I’m tired of the unnecessary drama that I have to deal with. I just hope it doesn’t pertain to other stakes races. I’m tired of the silliness.”

Have you seen the horses that race at the Meadowlands in overnights ? why would anyone want to drive there when you can drive top horses night in and night out at Yonkers going for 4 times the money !! Its hurting Gural more than its hurting Sears

[Equus Caballus]

whether the meadowlands is racing 10 claimers or open horses

why does jeff care about who is driving there?
the handle wont change whether its top drivers or smaller time guys

[Stan Gable]

What's great is since Sears and Brennan left the Meadowlands for Yonkers they have won the Hambletonian 4 out of the past 9 years and 3 of the last 9 Oaks and Gural can't do anything thing about it .

When you're trying to promote your tracks signature race I sure as hell would want the best drivers in the country driving in it and a driver who dominated the track for 7+ years .

I highly doubt they think that and both will probably be retired within 6 years anyway so it sure looks like they will come out the winners in the decision they made going to Yonkers .
