I've always liked Vernon but listening to Risi scream and watching Daley hump the race bike makes for a long afternoon. Sad that they are shutting down in 3 weeks.

the fault lies squarely on the horsemen and track operators.
they let the sport get gutted by cheats and did nothing to preserve the fans.
they withdrew every penny and put nothing back into the sport.
no future planned just take take take...
they did this to themselves.

THEN TELL GURAL TO FUCKING SELL,,,,,,,WHATA FUCKING CRYBABY,,,,,USE THE MEDS SPORTSBOOK MONEY BIG SHOT

Exactly
Been reading same on Facebook racing sites.
😭 wah— we have a product we destroyed so badly that the customer doesn’t want anymore and our sugar daddy ( the casino ) has run out of money to keep propping us up.
😩 wah — it’s the casino fault. We want our check.
With this attitude — think the business will survive ?

This is great news for harness racing. The less tracks the better. Hopefully, when the dust settles, there will only be 3 or 4 tracks left racing, and they will be racing for what they generate in handle. A perfect example is Scioto. When they were the only track racing, they had record, or near record handles, I believe. America needs less harness racing. Make AMerica Great Again!!! Defund Harness Racing.

You really think a 3 month snapshot of a business operating as the only available store open, is a viable and investable model. Do you just disregard the 20 years of history and the most recent performance. I give Scioto a big nod in their making the best of an opportunity but, it had little or nothing to do with a plan.
If harness racing loses these two venues, it will be a major blow to all racing. It will in fact shrink NY breeding as all races would be on a half mile track. NY would have a great challenge in attracting a Grand Circuit level stallion.
Also, where will these less than $20,000 value horses race?
-
the lowest horses will go to maine if racing lives on there
-
NO ONE SHOULD GIVE A FUCK FOR HORSEMEN PERIOD.... WHY?
BECAUSE PAYBACK FOR YOU BASTARDS IS A GREAT THING. NO ONE SHOULD GIVE A SHIT WHETHER YOU HAVE A TRACK, GO TO WHERE THERE IS ONE, AND IF THEY DONT WANT YOU
TOUGH SHIT

Here is something to ponder. According to the website of Jeff Gural's Allerage Farm, between his two farms, one in New York and the other in PA., he has 36 broodmares. Only 4 of them are breed to New York Stallions. 3 to Chapter 7 and the other to Credit Winner.
So, where does Jeffery see NY breeding? Well his farm shows almost zero confidence in the program as Chapter 7 is bred for Grand Circuit events. 1 mare out of 36 bredd for the NYSS program.
-
Gural hates 1/2 mile tracks. That is why he owns the only 2 in the state that are longer than 1/2 mile...
-
Jeffery invest heavily into NY bred trotters long before he made that awful mistake in buying VD and opening Tioga.
-
Jeff never speaks the truth
-
And guess as to when vermin can open casino? Leaving turning stoned last time there was a pretty long line of people coming in and been pretty busy every time I went..Vermin is only down the road like WTF
-
Total shithole
-
Tioga is not really closing much earlier than originally intended.
From 9/19 to 9/12 now.

Gural wants to sell. Nobody wants to buy.

There’s nothing wrong with the hotel.
$90/night for horsemen, direct connection to the track, and before it was there, there was nothing close to stay at that was higher than 1 Star.
You had to stay in Sayre to find something decent, 10 miles away.

Love the hotel..had a lot of great times there
