Perhaps, but certainly the specific location of a new casino. The reason it has always been voted down-----by a lot-----is NIMBY. Tax dollars, jobs, you name it, has never been able to overcome that nobody wants it in their hometown.
You could be right GH. But I think that the vote will be really close whichever way it goes. I do hope Gural and the Meadowlands get it. Just to see what he does with it.

Seemed like a nice guy the one time I met him
He actually is, but he's changed. And I understand why, doesn't make it right though. Also, I just realized that the same time Gareth Dowse was being billed for BB3 given to Hemi Seelster, Banca was training him. Howard owned him that whole time and was billed and paid. And if you listen to Gareth's phone call with me he says he had no clue his name was being used with Seth Fishman, now that actually adds up. Who was the common denominator in all that??? Who also owned horses with Banca???

Give Gural 10 casinos, but harness racing has to come to an abrupt halt. Maybe it can come back on line, I doubt you can remove the systematic corruption out of it so it can, so I don't think so.
If it dies, it dies, we'll mourn it here and no one in the world at large will even know it's gone.
Every great moment we've all had in harness racing has since happened a long time ago.
Accept that already.

The only excitement at Scarborough the last few years was when Sweeney would announce the hot dogs etc were all $1 before the last race and the old people would scurry to the run down concession stand…
Yeah, the tracks bathrooms were a nightmare too!

I have several people on ignore, so I am not seeing every post; however, I will say this-----anyone who has a very personal, close, etc., relationship with a driver, would not be smart to disclose it, and would be even less smart to disclose on a forum such as this.
No one out there cares if any day at Horseplop is their trophy moment, but they sure as shit care if it's the whip.

It will be a closer vote than last time due to the economic issues facing NJ voters. The promise of good paying casino jobs and more money going into the state's treasury might get Gural over the finish line this time.

Where's Banca now??
What I've been told by the people I actually trust and who are behind me is he is one of the few that truly distanced himself from the game after being released.

100%  Everyone in NJ. will be looking to get all their taxes lowered! A casino could help, voters will be checking the yes box.
