Wiz, I remember that they ran out of programs. I don't know what year Gural took over, but I've never seen a guy more hated/loved by so many fans. Gural and his wife stayed at a bungalow colony that my family also stayed at. I never really knew him but I think he and his family had rreal estate in NYC. Years later I was surprised when I read he bought the Meadowlands. I'm sure the days of big crowds are long gone. Except on Hambo day. I think they had 17,000 that day.

Jeff Gural, a New York real estate developer and horse breeder, took over the operation of the Meadowlands Racetrack in December 2011 through a long-term lease agreement with the state of New Jersey.

 


     tmbz 100% Thank you to the greatest president ever! President Trump had a huge biden mess to clean up, and has wasted no time getting it done.

Sadly, the days of bi-partisan legislation through compromise is long gone. The polarization of both political parties have balkanized the nation. President Trump has caused too much havoc as his policies is all the news can report. It's almost hard to keep up with what he does and says day to day. But next November, when the GOP loses 20-25 seats in the House, we will have divided government again.
