Title: Hollywood Heyden on being fired by Jeff Gural
Post by: stanetelman on November 20, 2022, 08:22:24 PM
"When I asked for a pay raise and benefits I guess they found me expendable and my services were no longer required. After 36 years when then decided to not bring me back in October 2019. Mr. Gural did not insult me, he insulted the 1,179 individuals who wrote, texted, called or told me in person how sorry they were that I was leaving.”
Sounds like Bob doesn't have too much love for Jeff.

Asking Gural for more money sounds like a great way to end your career immediately

Yes, he was. They always are.  Every. Single. One.

Daily Racing Form is no better.

Bob Hollywood Heyden.... JEW or NOT JEW?

No wonder DRF is so cheap. When they took over Harness Eye I complained to Derick Giwner about the program only having 6 lines for each horse and less when the fields were larger than 10 horses. He would tell me how expensive ink and paper cost. Now everything is online and it's still the same shit product.

depends on your perspective
if you are interested in the sport than he has a lot of historical information that many would find interesting
if you are simply a gambler than his information would have no relevance to you
i will say however that if you are depending on the on air types to provide you with winners you should not be wagering

Heyden would be a great watch if you were close to killing yourself and just needed a few minutes of the dullest, most depressing commentary to get you to pull the trigger.

I can't think of another person that comes close to having the historical knowledge of harness racing then Hollywood. I love listening to his trivia.

Hollywood is the best interviewer in harness racing. Wendy Ross is by far the worst. There should be a spot for Bob...in my opinion.

Don't think it's a hebrew issue but more of a business owner issue...I always remember Ralph Kiner ( Professional Baseball Player and TV Announcer for my NY Mets, tell his story about asking Branch Rickey ( not a jew) GM of the Pittsburgh Pirates for a raise after hitting 37 homeruns)..Still pretty funny.

Sportscaster and former baseball great Ralph Kiner tells the following story: After the season in which I hit 37 home runs, I asked Pittsburgh Pirate general manager Branch Rickey for a raise. He refused. “I led the league in homers,” I reminded him. “Where did we finish?” Rickey asked me. “Last,” I replied. “Well,” Rickey said, “We can finish last without you.”

If your into this sport just to gamble then your not going to listen to anyone anyways, but if you are a true fan of harness racing than Heyden can be interesting to listen too.
