Meadowlands 2020 Fall Meet In Jeapordy

[Fatboy]

It’s a done deal
 
it would cost Gural to run

he can not run and collect lease payment

richest sports book in america can afford it

[hoosierboy]

Gural probably knows that Tbreds are gonna take in more money than standard Breds so he is all for tbreds more money for him. 

[Papillon]

look for this trend to continue

don’t be shocked if Monmouth eventually asks for winter dates

[spaheaven]

Good news for the track itself as well more hours to work for the part timers money for Christmas shopping

[Papillon]

Gural probably knows that Tbreds are gonna take in more money than standard Breds so he is all for tbreds more money for him.

he has absolutely nothing to do with what Monmouth @M1 handles

he collects a lease payment only

he does not get any piece of Monmouth handle

[oh canada]

Jeff always comes out smelling like a rose !!!

Meadowlands Statement On Live Racing In 2020

With the major yearling sales coming up, we felt it necessary to have those with an interest in harness racing be made aware of a few recent developments involving The Meadowlands for 2020 listed below.

On Wednesday, September 18 at a meeting of the New Jersey Racing Commission, a request by The Meadowlands to eliminate Lasix for 2-year-old Standardbreds racing in New Jersey for 2020 and 2021 and for the 2021 Meadowlands Pace was rejected.

This request was opposed unanimously by the Board of Directors of the Standardbred Breeders & Owners Association of New Jersey and by some practicing veterinarians.
It is our intention to re-submit this request within the next six to eight months once we have a better understanding of how the public is going to react to the negative press that the thoroughbred industry has recently received.

In addition, we have been officially notified by the Monmouth Park Thoroughbreds that they intend to exercise their option to convert the surface of the racetrack and race on the Meadowlands main track from October 2 through December 5 next fall. 

While it is still possible that they will reconsider based on the costs, we must assume that there will be no live harness meet next fall at the Meadowlands. Should that occur, The Meadowlands would extend the 2020 live meet beyond Hambletonian Day, racing until mid-September.

 

Regarding a few of the important stakes that have historically been raced during the fall meet, our intention would be to race the Kindergarten Classic Finals and TVG Finals right after the Little Brown Jug and prior to the beginning of the Lexington meet. It is as of now unclear what will be done with the Fall Freshman Final Four stakes which have annually taken place at the end of November.

In any case, we thought it important that everyone be aware of these developments so you may plan accordingly.

THEY INTEND TO EXERCISE THEIR OPTION TO RACE NEXT FALL, GOV CHRISTIE
DECIDED THE STATE SHOULD NOT BE IN THE HORSE BUSINESS AND MONMOUTH
AND MEADOWLANDS BECAME PRIVATIZED, WHO GAVE THEM THE OPTION TO
RACE AT MEADOWLANDS AND WHY??

Good questions

The Monmouth horsemen and Gural have some type of contract ... obviously the lease has a clause

they have been running turf only afternoon cards every October for years so there has always been some type of agreement

6 million at night...no fkin way
