Exactly how is he supposed to run the racetrack successfully? It's a dying sport. How is he supposed to change the tragectory our industry has had for the past 20 yrs by himself? He wants handle, he wants bettors just like all of us. You have to have a product, why aren't we helping him instead of bashing him. I see him as a businessman who put up his wealth for his love of harness racing. Fine he wanted a casino, can you imagine if he received the casino. Not like Yonkers, didn't see any track in the new vision of Yonkers Raceway.
He has completely failed at landing a casino but people still say he's done a wonderful job?
No one can just "land a casino in NJ"Trenton is a pay to play capital-and NJ wont allow any casinos outside atlantic city-its been 47 years nowGural thought he could waltz in and get a casino-but knows nothing about NJ politicsso he suddenly got a dose of reality when Trenton laughed at him
So I ask, what exactly is so wonderful about the job Gural has done at the meadowlands?
They're still racing and wouldn't be if he didn't step up. that's the wonderful job he's done. He helped get a bunch of convictions for the Feds. He can not do this alone. Ya he did a terrible job, by not getting a casino, which was never going to be easy. All the players were stacked against him. AC put the wheel under him just as they have everybody else who tried.
