Most NJ residents don't want a casino in their backyard. Yeah, we all know why. NIMBY. People believe what they believe. However, when the polling asked if NJ residents would approve a casino "at the Meadowlands"-----the results were a hell of a lot closer. It is a shock that some people actually believe a casino would turn a neighborhood into AC. Stupidity and short-sightedness. Incestuous cousins, LOL.

I guess we'll soon see if BJ is back in the top 5 or so. I am very surprised they are considering the LBJ. We'll see.

I don't know the details of any suit between Gural and Taylor, but I will say this. I think Gural banned Taylor and that's where it ends. I say Taylor can't win that case. Now it grows, morphs into something else, etc. and maybe Taylor is grasping at straws. I don't know.

Anyway, Taylor may be a good lawyer, maybe a great lawyer. I don't know. But I do know one thing.....unlike the NJRC, the NJSEA, and all of Gural's predecessors, Gural is not going to use some second-rate, Triple A, or sub-par law firm. You are talking about a major league, nationally presence, major business owner here. With massive and vast experience. He doesn't use attorney's who have neon lights in the window that say "Se Habla Espanol" if you know what I mean, LOL. Taylor may be a great litigator, again, I don't know. Taylor might be used to being the biggest dog in several yards he's been in before. But he may end up in a yard and facing a dog that he's never seen the likes of before. If the two end up in court, I don't even care what each sides argument/position is.....I would bet on Gural, LOL.

    This is really getting redundant . Do you people really think it’s an accident that of all the owners whose trainers used Fishman’s products these racing commissions came after Howard Taylor.  Without having the exact numbers I would say conservatively there are at least another 100 owners who had trainers who used Fishman. If you denied licensing to all of these owners there wouldn’t be any harness racing. So why Howard ?   A. The powers that be never liked Howard representing trainers that they don’t like.     B.  There’s a very good chance that Jeff Gural used his influence to sabotage Howard Taylor with the racing commissions  C. The  powers that be also didn’t like some of the trainers that Howard used.  D. I definitely believe alot of SCM’s postings hurt Howard and I also believe that SCM was working for and financed by Jeff Gural

I know all about takeout and purses. My response was addressed to rainman2 who mentioned the 1st race handle was $65,000 which is alot better than most harness tracks except for Meadowlands, Mohawk, and Northfield. The majority of harness tracks only handle between $10,000 and $30,000 per race.

gotcha. And that is beyond embarrassing.
