Vindictiveness with no concern about the fans or the fact that Hoosier has one third the fan appeal of the Meadowlands. Sounds about right for harness racing leadership. Time to end the handouts.

Not my opinion, but #2 is interesting.
Key Reasons for the problem at The Meadowlands:
1- Casino License Push: Gural stated he could not commit to a long-term five-year contract to host the expensive event without knowing if the track would receive a lucrative North Jersey casino license. New Jersey must pass a referendum to allow a casino at the Meadowlands, as state law currently limits casinos to Atlantic City.
2- Integrity and Medication Rules: A major point of contention involves disagreements over misconduct rules. Gural has been vocal about tightening regulations against trainers suspected of using performance-enhancing drugs, creating friction with the Society over which trainers and drivers are permitted to compete.
3- Long-term Financial Certainty: Because of the financial cloud over the New Jersey track, the Hambletonian Society opened bidding to secure a stable, long-term home for harness racing's most prestigious event.

yet JG lobbied for Engblom to not only have his suspensions stayed, he wanted it completely removed
and he has used trainers Bongiorno, Julie and Ake
seems hypocritical to me

Let's also remember Gural employed/employs Ron Burke. Four trainers, and I use that term very loosely, that are well known to "help" horses. Hypocritical? Gural is the definition of hypocritical. That is why he will fail. The idiots who defend Gural will be screaming, even louder now, HANDLE, HANDLE, HANDLE, which for purses today, mean actually nothing.

Never seen the Hambo live
Anderson, Indiana is only 160 miles from my house in Delaware,OH
Meadowlands is 544 miles away
Might have to go and check off a bucket list item tmbz1

Nice thing, no need to hurry. Got 'AT LEAST' 3 years to cross that one off. tmbz1
-
Hoosierpark will blow this event out of the water
Guaranteed
That will be their showcase event for next three yrs
Don’t be surprised if Dan patch race don’t get moved to
HAMBO AND HOOSIERPARK DAY tmbz1
-
One stakes race Hoosier could move to Hambo day could be the Jenna's Beach Boy
Its for 3 year old colt pacers.
That race always fell the day after LBJ day which always seemed odd to me

I am sure Gabe, after a 15 minute drag, will figure it out
no brainers would be the Dan Patch and the race you mentioned for starters
some ISS races also

i can think of something worse.
tone deaf ignorance
wont let it slide no more
-
I saw them throwing shirts out to a small group of really obese really old white people. This was their biggest night of the year
-
Hoosier has a shorter fence for midgets to see over
-
I was at Hoosier Park once.
There were maybe 25 in attendance for the evening card.
Not sure what their attendance is now.
and it is out in the middle of nowhere.
Not sure how the Meadowlands stills runs without a casino.
Gural is either a genius or losing alot of $$$
Harness tracks have become a loser...with slots
-
Who didn’t enjoy the queer eye for the straight guy commentary? Best dressed contest guy with purse finished 5th. Dave Little asking for his outfit to be rated. Hopefully they don’t push the narrative at Hoosier!
-
Luc’s spot on , when is Gural gonna stop whining and crying about money. The Hambo day interview with Dave Little was embarrassing, he never shut the F up about money the whole time.
