Good for Gural and everyone else. Very good. Step in the right direction. Let's see more steps.

Let’s See what the entry box shows

Waiting for it to get real....

Nothing will happen. The big-name trainers appeals last year's. This week's races will be filled with his horses. The Big M needs him to fill fields.

Do you really believe that Gural et al are going to give someone a pass because they need him to fill races?

Currently--about how many YR trainers does Gural have on his banned(sorry, banded) list?

He had 5 horses racing at Mlands Saturday. 2 in the open (finished 1,2. $9.80 win, heavy favorite 2 nd). 2 chalk and a 26-1 , none win. Lots of full fields , they don’t need him to fill races . Beckwith couldnt get any of the 3 heavy favorites home. Strange .

8 months and no action….you need to meet Terrance that used to hang around Freehold.

Engblom has 8 into go on Friday night 01/02/26 at the Meadowlands I guess its Happy New Year to Per !

Probably a stay.
Glad you fellas think logically and read for yourself.
Grandstanding & Wizardofjizz, one has his nose in the air, the other perpetually up gruals ass. ngc3

It's not like this guy did not have any positive tests. There's no vague conduct detrimental to the sport. No witch hunts. IIRC, the positive(s) were for oxycodone, carisoprodol, and meprobamate. What's he fighting, 380 days? If Gural said he set a deadline, I'd like to see him stick to it. If he doesn't, I'd like proof-positive reasons why. Throw this guy out and watch what happens. If, and it's a huge if, but if you have trouble filling a few races, it will be short-lived. Good riddance.
-
This is a travesty of epic proportions.
Gural says no Per in 2026 unless reversed. I guess we can’t trust Gurals word anymore, I’ve lost all respect for him, a man that can’t keep his word is
-
Gural is keeping low key till he gets a casino.
-
I had the honor of having dinner with Jeff and a mutual friend a couple years ago. Great guy! tmbz1
-
It was a bigger honor for him. Who was the mutual friend, Sakit? Did Gural run out on paying the check?

Maybe you should start asking Gural to resign too.

More simple then we know.
Make a chronological list of major occurrences of actual regulatory, and lawful failures at the Big M during his time.
Add the habitual problems with trainers and their revolving door there.
Drug and performing enhancing users and dealers.
and CAW.
Overall compromised integrity.
Show a down angle graph, handle, purses...that the government in part is NOW subsidizing the product that obviously no reasonable gambler is doing in full. The threat to send a flagship, historic race in the Hambo packing.
Now take that grievance and share it with the state of NJ (all major state media) and the legislature that decides on his Casino.
Give him his casino only if he clears that attached list to his demand after one year of no major issue recurrences.
-
Gural doesnt care what anyone thinks about him.
Look at his history with the bongiorno family of trainers.
Gural will do whatever he wants and if you dont like it, too bad.

Now that's funny. ngc3

He is very hypocritical when it comes to certain things. I know SCM has avenues of communication with him. Would love to see him ask about Per having entries after 12/31 with nothing resolved. What a joke!

The NJ Casino commission and control boards may not be too open to welcoming their largest casino operator who clearly feels he is above everything and will do what he wants

Thats too much for one man to handle, can you help out ?

That’s unbelievable! Gural, you are a lying, two-faced piece of shit. I wish horsemen would grow a spine and boycott the box so you can field a card one weekend. Mr. Integrity my ass. You are no different and are 100 % looking out for you, not the horsemen. 🖕

Almost forgot, thanks for the update Mike. You coming back anytime soon? Place is less entertaining without your mix of information, condescension, and shenanigans. tmbz1

Pacer 2 seems to have his hands full getting Beckwith Epogen order up to snuff ngc3 ngc3 ngc3...remember, Saratoga about a month away ;D
-
He's got 11 in to go at M1 this weekend. Mr. Gural...go fuck yourself! tmbz1
-
The Meadowlands is a joke. This is just another case where they don’t stick to their word and want it to be a country club for the select few. Big M has been replaced by MVR as the place to race in the winter.
-
Per had 3 wins and 2 seconds with 8 starters and was allowed by Gural to steal over $27k in purse money from horsemen racing at M1 last night. And that's with Beckwith making breaks on 2 other favs, so it could've and should've been more than that. Excellent job protecting the integrity Mr. Gural! tmbz1

It’s a sad state of affairs there.
-
So Gural is siding with the ALG (real court) instead of a rogue NJ race commission that picks and chooses who to go after. What an ass

The ALJ reduced it to 90 days. Gural blew past that and gave him zero days. Because he picks and chooses who he goes after.

Obviously you didn’t watch the idiots YouTube. Gural tried to make peace and get the NJRC to uphold the ALG recommendations instead of having this tied up in court for 2 more years. Not sure what to make of those positives but something ain’t right. If he was using those drugs then 5 other guys were doing it too.
-
As a side note. Guy has 120+ horses a $6k/month. Do you really believe he would use easily detected drugs on his horses?? I know common sense is not readily available on here But please think a little

This is buggy racing, they’ll use anything if they think they won’t get caught

Druggers, do not use the word trainers, will use ANYTHING where a test has yet to be implemented. and it is criminal that these people would inject these poor defenseless animals with foreign substances knowing the long term effects are detrimental to the horse!
-
Per wins 2 out of 3 last night. Thanks Jeffie! You are Mr. Integrity!

FYI the drugs in question are prescribed to people every day. Millions of times each day
