Title: Freehold last ditch meeting canceled.
Post by: Sunmoon 1219 on November 20, 2024, 11:29:24 AM
We just got a email from Howard Bruno GM of Freehold telling us that we can all fly out as the meeting with the city and potential investor has fallen apart as the 2 parties couldn’t come to a consensus on the future of the property outside of the racetrack . Looks like the final 8 race dates begin this weekend. See you all tomorrow. We are staying over to see the meds live and checkout there racebook .

We figured there maybe some old nostalgia to purchase as well as some vehicles.

This means the track will close & it will just sit & rot?

I haven't really been following this saga but Bill Pollock and his partner friend Areman are from Freehold. What are the odds that they were the potential investors?

Are they moving ahead with the auction? I wonder who is handling that.

I'm pretty sure they will have one of those hot dog warmer roller things for sale at the auction, I always wanted one of those.

Do you think the 2 hotdogs that have been on there for the last 3 years will increase the bidding?

I think it's hilarious. Called it over a year ago. Keep kissing the asses of your "leaders"....morons.

Those 2 hot dogs are so hard they could be used to drill for oil.
I wonder how many miles those 2 hot dogs have rolled in 3 years?

I decided not to attend. I heard Dave Little will be there bidding on the 2 hot dogs.*

Dave Little and Gary DiLeo.  If ever two pieces of human garbage belong in the Meadowlands swamp, they sure do. I would have Shades join them since he is now back at the Big M.  Three individuals who should be Uber drivers or pizza delivery drivers which they would be with the Big M.

Called Heritage Auctions...they are not scheduled as of now to run the auction. Not sure if it's even scheduled yet.

We saw the almighty Freehold today . We are eating at a famous New Jersey restaurant supposedly called Fernandes in Newark .

1. Freehold is a building looking like a warehouse not a racetrack or a casino .
2. Once inside or is very dated and the gentleman who mentioned the bathrooms they are straight from the NYC ones of yesteryear.

3. Howard Bruno was a complete gentleman no matter what others say he has a job to do which is to close down an establishment. Nobody is liked in that position.

4. The racing was horrendous not even of our Northfield standards.

5. Impossible to tell the handle with an infield board with multiple lights out .
6. There are many different options on how the owners are going to sell and auction off the property. They are looking at restaurants for the tables , chairs ect . Looking at an automobile auction house for the trucks .
7. Overall it’s a business that’s barely breathing like 70% of the folks in attendance. Sad but true.
8. Now off to the swamp after this lovely Spanish dinner .

No, I'm saying Dave Little needs a 55-gallon drum of Ozempic and Debbie Little isn't far behind.

Only sad morons would be interested in another innocent persons weight-grow up please. Then to mention someone’s spouse is so pathetic.

You know what. Something needs to open his eyes or he will die well before his time.

That’s most likely true but but that’s nobody else’s business but his.
This is a harness racing blog not a weight watchers one.

That is true.

An aside, just before Dave Brower passed away he was on the screen as his face was as red as a beet. No idea what was wrong his him and I won't even speculate. I told my body something was wrong. He died shortly after at 53. Sometimes people need a push.

Newark Ironbound is known for their Spanish and Portuguese restaurants.  I’ve eaten in many of them. 
Fernandes is a well known steakhouse.

We enjoyed the restaurant immensely. The racing at the swamp was ok surprisingly almost all the big guns still racing there without a break . We gave our thoughts on freehold and nobody really commented as that’s about how many people really care that it’s done for good in a month . They have 8 race dates left hope the horseman have made adjustments that they are done going to that sad place . Have to say the area is beautiful the Nj turnpike not so much . Glad to be back in Ohio and Illinois.

Sorry if I hurt your feelings Twiggy, next time you venture outside from your parents basement be sure to put your big boy pants on first.

Some building foundations and elevators are rated for a certain max weight. Tell me you would get into an elevator with Dave and Debbie Little that's rated for 3 people.
