Harness Racing / Re: Race Tracks vs Casino's« Last post by gurals casino on Today at 03:21:27 PM »How about all the states with casinos without racetracks. There aren't that many states left with racetracks. 47 states have casinos, how many states have racetracks, maybe 1/3. What happens when the funding goes away or is reduced for the racetracks, the casinos will still be in business, but some racetracks may be forced to close or race for much cheaper purses. the three without casinos...my guess Hawaii Utah Idaho 3

Harness Racing / Re: Churchill Downs downsizing it's gambling empire?« Last post by dougie on Today at 02:44:55 PM »And yet not a word from Maryland's Horseman's representative Cloverleaf. You know they had to of been notified that it (Ocean Downs) was going up for sale.The big question I have been asking is will Churchill sell to similar interests to allow these places to remain tracks and casinos? Or will they sell to the first buyer with the money? 5

With the onslaught of casinos in every state, the agreement was that they could open as long as they were tied to racing. Don’t shoot the messenger. Those are just a fact. If the track loses money, that’s the price to be paid for operating a casino and without that racetrack, there would be no casino.

Harness Racing / Re: Jeff Gural may be one of the last guys standing.....« Last post by ScrapeThePaint on Today at 02:18:39 PM »Jeff has done a great job and should be commended. I for one is very thankful for what he has done. Anybody who has an interest in this sport should be thankful for Jeff. He has done a tremendous job with the hand that he has been dealt. Of course he wants a casino. He doesn’t wanna lose money, who does? Just because of his wealth does not mean that he wants to lose or is OK. He truly loves the sport and is getting older. I commend him on doing what it takes to keep the Mecca of Harness Racing going. Not to mention he operates Vernon and Tioga giving many people jobs and those two tracks keep a lot of of the small time trainers employed! All hail,Jeff Gural! 8

Harness Racing / Re: tyler buter« Last post by ScrapeThePaint on Today at 02:14:50 PM »Tyler is an absolute stellar driver. You don’t drive for Burke unless you fit the Bill. He’s the leading driver at Pocono and has incredible talent. Trotters break, it’s not always the driver. Sad you guys lost two dollars. That’s the risk with gambling.
