I say there is nobody else. I very highly doubt there is some entity or the like -- with other persons -- that "invested" in the Meadowlands. If, and I say if there is, they are limited partners, non-managing partners, non-voting, type of investors, but I would bet that Gural would have had to disclose that. Very few people in the industry have the stature Gural has. Very few people have the power, the connections, the clout, and more, that go along with it. If he was looking for investors, and he wanted people in the industry, well, I might guess that if George Segal was much, much younger, perhaps he would considered it. No way is Gural taking trainers though. No shot. He is not that foolish. Very few people in the industry could successfully go through the "vetting" process to operate the Meadowlands.

I wouldn't be surprised if a casino company "paid" in some form or fashion for the first rights to a casino at the Meadowlands. Something along these lines wouldn't be a surprise. But it doesn't take anything away from Gural. Whether he put up all the money or not, whether he has a walk-away repayment right or not, none of it matters. He stepped up. Nobody else did. And it's great that he did because nobody else could have saved the Meadowlands. Gural did. If you don't like it or him, tell your story walking and go play bingo.

Gural has partners/investors. To my knowledge, he has never publicly named them . However, he has spoken about them consistently when he was begging for state subsidies, horses and drivers.

Yes, he does. Same as in the American Racing LLC, the owner of Tioga and Vernon. Small pieces no voting rights just passive investors.
 Peter Kleinhans was mentioned as a passive investor by Mr. Dalrae. Very interesting character Peter is.  His grandmother was a major real-estate investor in NYC hotels and other properties. She was extremely well respected as skilled negotiator and deal maker. She used to make Leona Helmsley quake when she was involved in a deal.

You don't grow a stable that big and dominate without bending the rules somewhere.

I wonder if he even cares as much as you do, you don't think he can get the side pieces?

Our sport has always been a little incestuous. Go to any track or farm, anybody fucks anybody. Drivers, Trainers, Owners ,wives, of both, grooms, vets and any other thing that would fuck.
