Visited Freehold Raceway today

Sounds like you guys out East have a complete train wreck out there . A shithole that has piss running out the bathrooms . A once hot or nice bodied race secretary . A horseman association wanting a landscaper . Hopefully the last 18 cards go quickly . And there is no mandate to make a landlord pull weeds and plant flowers and paint or power wash . Are you guys for real

Go on your betting accounts they handled 292,000 dollars . That’s a losing day for the operation. They need to cut the purses 50% to possibly break even . The subsidy keeps the lights on and pays the taxes . Nightmare

Well with today there are only 18 race cards left . I hope you log shitters bring some tissues for all the crying . We are flying out there November 8 and 9th . See what can be bought at years end . Howard Bruno told us the horseman out there brought a joke lawsuit to the table . Looking for landscaping , paving , painting and window washing. Are they fucking serious ?

They might include the toilet with my dookie log in it at the auction.
Let me know if you see it.

The river of piss was running out of that ground floor grandstand men's room back in the good old days when the track was packed.
It's probably a Sunami of piss water by now.

I read the complaint. The SBOANJ are looking to hold track ownership "accountable"-----and the lawsuit alleges that track ownership breached its contractual obligations to the SBOANJ concerning:

1) The general operations of Freehold Raceway,
2) The sharing of sports wagering revenues generated through Freehold Raceway,
3) Track ownership "has been evading its responsibilities under an agreement with the SBOANJ to maintain the Raceway, provide a safe condition for patrons and racing participants, and to make necessary repairs."

Now, for # 3, the SBOANJ references an "agreement"----and I have not seen or read that agreement----but I am sure the breach, if in fact there is one, is not absolute. I am sure like with any dispute over an agreement, each party interprets it in the way that suits their position, LOL. I am sure track ownership is confident they could simply close the doors any time they want.

The SBOANJ emphatically states that track ownership owes the SBOANJ hundreds of thousands of dollars from sports betting (as required by a revenue sharing agreement). Well, that should be clear-cut, LOL. Not so fast! LOL.

Perhaps complicating this is the fact that NJ has a brand new (Acting) Director of the NJRC. Her name is Sara Ben-David. Some of you NJ people may recognize her name. She's a former DAG, was with the Division of Gaming Enforcement, and she handled complex casino licensing hearings. However, this plays out----one thing is clear to me----she should make sure that $1.6mm goes to and stays with the standardbred industry! Period. Let the SBOANJ, which represents horsemen here in NJ, let them be the stewards and direct those monies toward the standardbred industry and the people who were supposed to get it-----the horsemen at Freehold! Have a Freehold meet somewhere and let them have the money!

Why did we hear it’s got landscaping and handyman stuff listed ? As complaints ?

I should eat some losing tickets the night before so it becomes harness racing relevant.

Larry Rolla and Petrelli are going to make a last minute deal to keep the track going

That's the best you can do? Actually I called this last year and then did visit the place in February to meet with some horsemen. This deal was made long ago. Mock all you want, this is on you people. The people who did nothing and allowed yourselves to be led by the shorthairs. Now you have another track gone. Nice job.

Larry got mad I called out him and his buddy over the Artistic Fella thing when I had to step in and get him and six other horses owned by Joe Alborano to a better living situation and actually fed. That's why. I have no tolerance for neglecting these animals or anyone who supports those who neglect them. End of story.

Buenas noches Mikey Dipey. Dyson ustedes crean grandes problemas con el palo en el caballo para usted mismo y la gente debe investigar a los federales

Why do you want Mike to get out of the Dreamland Farms? What should the feds investigate?

Just a shame. This facility could be awesome if the owner group would have at least tried to improve its stature. Escalators broken for months or years at a time is the perfect example. The restaurant is a perfect place to spend an afternoon watching the races with friends and family. Really nice staff in restaurant. Maybe improve the concessions just a bit. Get a sports betting partner that wants to be there. Even that room could be made into a great sports watching venue , just need some parlor type setup that offers alcohol offerings and good food snacks etc.
Mgt did zero.
I pray that someone with some capitol will still show up and save this legendary place before the doors close forever. So many horse folks and farm owners will be hurt due to a lack of respectable ownership. Truly a shame..
