What selective memories, some have. Vernon Downs was dead and buried for a decade or more. The Vernon are horsemen were sold out by the Oneida County officials along with Gov. Coumo and his Indian deal. In a ploy to get the Indians to pay a portion the huge amount tax money they owed, in Cuomo's annual cash grab for his bloated budget, they struck a deal that left VD on life support. It was Gural, that funded VD to continue to house and race as he continued to strategies and negotiate with the State to keep the place alive. If anyone has some proof Jeffery has skimmed or is skimming, please post.
are there any leftovers?
You seen to know a lot about Gurals business. Vernon/Tioga will be the last N Y S Harness tracks to close……
