Don’t worry, boys.  I spoke to Mr Gurel last night in Trotters, and he is pretty sure he’ll be getting a casino within 2 years.
He was there on a Friday night for real?

When will all you realize that if it wasn’t for Jeff Gural, there would be no Meadowlands. You’re a bunch of fucking hypocrites. He deserves a casino more than any other interest and I hope he gets it. Can’t imagine would the comments would be if the track folded. In addition, bringing  back harness racing is like bringing back Blockbuster Video or a fax machine. The world has moved on. You’re in complete denial if you think otherwise.

Name one other person that has dome more to support this dying sport than Jeff. Give him a fucking break you assholes

 i would prefer to see a guy who owns a track get a casino rather than the other way around

Sitting next to Settlemoir having dinner at the next table.  I took photos on my phone but don’t know how to get them on here.

if $3mil handle is some type of magic number...why don't they have 18 races or more per card on the 2 days a week schedule?

 You took photos of Gural @ the Meadowlands?

 Oh, to be so star struck

 Like coming on the Wynn elevator & Goldie Hawn is also going down, in 1989
Always love to watch my horses race, they get the utmost care & support.
 We don't need to race, it's the camraderie & the bond with the horses that makes it special.

Would the horsemen and the track be able to start at 4pm considering how the track extends times between races??

they can handle 4 million a night and Gural will keep asking for a casino. It's as simple as that.

...because he is a very wealthy, arrogant man who crowned himself "savior", actually believing somehow that NJ automatically would give him a casino, not understanding NJ politics, and now he is crying "poor mouse" after he made a poor decision by spending millions on a new M1 and lobbying, now, almost 10 years later, he is starting to realize his "dream casino" isn't happening anytime soon-so he continues to weep about how poor he is. Now he threatens to close his bad investment if he doesn't get his casino.

His hubris, poor judgement and overall lack of awareness is why he is in the position he is in- out millions of dollars-, begging for a casino that he wont get.
