Title: Bongiorno
Post by: Birdfantammy on February 24, 2025, 08:28:16 PM
Looks like Bongiorno must've forgot to pay his supplier.  His horses have all been running like crap!  Goes to show what kind of pos this guy is.  No drugs..no win.   He is no trainer.  He's a joke

It looks like Joe didn't show to drive tonight. He trained the race 1 winner.

Why show up when you can sucker owners into big bills and have them believe any story?  Family been doing it for years, ask anyone in the paddock with a set of balls.

I love when an alleged "super" trainer goes dead, all of a sudden it's----the vet cut him off, his supplier cut him off, they are now testing for so-and-so, OK, that last one might be legit, LOL. Listen, if the guy went south financially and his vet cut him off, sure, that's possible, but IF you had all your eggs in one basket, you'd watch and protect that basket like nothing else. Aside from his driving, he was never a real trainer. I couldn't care less if he went to the barn every day, from sun-up to sundown, and sat behind horses every trip, no offense, he is not a real horseman. Whatever his sister was doing, whatever he was doing, it wasn't horsemanship. Some people say dad was really behind the scenes. IDK, maybe, but I didn't think dad was going to be the real secret anyway.

Look at warwee Total he claimed for 20k off Eddie Sager on January 10 . 5 starts Zero made . Guess he didn’t figure that one out . How about Roseo Hanover bought for 47k from the maritime in January hasn’t raced. . They all don’t go for them . You just see the ones that are winning today . How’s the 25 claiming trotter from Cushing last month ? 2 wins left the swamp in a ambulance.

Sometimes, new acquisitions are out there for the sole purpose of looking bad/dumping. Keeps the heat off the barn and keeps the win % from looking ridiculously high

grandstand handicapper don't listen to these guys most of them know nothing.  I've known this family for a long time they're good people. The Bongiorno's are kind caring people.

It's funny nobody on here can come up with any true facts they're all so full of shit. Think about it if they were as bad as everybody said would they be allowed to race? I've known the family personally they would help anybody out.

Good people?  Stole from drivers in the paddock with the failed investments, put owners on bad claims and saved the good ones for himself, where's Jenn?  She all of a sudden quit the game?  Father barred everywhere, how is this good?

Ask Royal Rock how he’s doing over there . Ask Robert Manis how he’s doing ? 6k a month bills . 25k claimed in January he’s in for 37k amd horse made zero so far . Maybe Eddie Sager will buy him for 10

Forgot to mention she was on the Fishman list and banned from Meadowlands but then gets back in a week later without explanation.  Howard Taylor still barred as well as everyone else on that list.

Mom's a Dancer.  Maybe she was smart enough to keep her money separate from her hubby.  She must pull a lot of weight with Gural.  How did daughter Jen get her broadcasting job at M?  I don't recall her doing anything previously to get that position.

I have to say, while I am not the type who always sees a conspiracy, this is an eyebrow raise. I still say Pena will be a non-factor, but if these two are an alliance, that could be something. I hope it's not.

Father thrown out a million times, will rob you once the door is open.  Stole millions from paddock people yet the guy still shows his face knowing he's protected (probably by Frasure).
 Uneducated owners come on in, there will be plenty of private sales staged to rob you.  Daughter will do anything to get the money, team with any undesirable or animal abusing persons but will post pics to make it appear she loves the animals.  Joe is just a chip off the block but probably the most likeable one.  Mother plays dumb but knows exactly what's going on.  Hundred chances by Gural to let the family race.  What else do we need to add?

Don’t care much for any of the family. But y’all keep saying Bob stole millions from others. And want to blame Gural for not prosecuting. He is a track owner not DA. If someone stole my money I would be going after them not the track owner where he races

Post by: Onthefront11 on March 05, 2025, 04:47:15 PM
I just find it amazing he walks around the paddocks and no one has the nerve to do something as far as Mr Gural he's very forgiving with that family
Title: Re: Bongiorno
Post by: Grandstand Handicapper on March 05, 2025, 05:33:53 PM
The guy had a BK and that played out the way it played out. Plenty of people declared bankruptcy, and seamlessly, with zero interruption stayed in business. All they did was change the name of their operating business. OK, so this was a personal BK. What the daughter did, didn't do, what the son did, didn't do----has nothing to do with dad and his license.

Listen, I am not a fan of his at all, but what did he exactly do that commands being banned from the industry? Is he a convicted felon? If he stole money from people, was he found guilty. The DA of NJ is no wallflower. He's a serious crimefighter. So is the US Attorney for NJ. Him even more. So what did Bob do? Positive tests? More than others. Do I think the business would be better off without him? Yes, I do. But you can't ban him for that. Can Gural ban someone simply because he wants to? Yes, he can. But without real cause, real standing, just by saying private property rights, to me, that's a slippery slope. Also, if you simply say "conduct detrimental to business"----that is purely subjective and open to debate in litigation. So if you have a reason to ban him, make it a very, very good one. That said, even though I say good riddance, I'd like to hear why.

The bottom line is many owners flock to the high percentage trainers. They have been doing this for years & years. Sadly a good part of them don't need the money. The greed has killed the sport. This family exemplifies what is wrong with sport.
