Gural is on record that the doors are closing if they dont get the casino

They could do 4 million a night every night. They would still close.

He has no meaningful handle on imported signals. The vast majority of the live handle is from adw retail accounts and CAWs.

The current business model doesnt work. Apparently even with the sports business.

The true description of it would be whatever the polar opposite of "thriving" is

Fanduel profits about 300 million a year at the Meadowlands. Best estimates are Gural gets 15% about 45 million a year. He’s making money even with the expense of the racing. Fanduel can exist without racing at the Meadowlands but racing is just a write off on Gural’s tax bill. His threat of closing the track without a casino is just a threat.

Current record.....18-16
OH look,me floatin above 500.

What a SHITSHOW.
We will play tonight. Should hit 40 losses. TOO bad me ain't young and playin. Although I never played footsie ball. I'd be throwin games to make some MOOLA.
Tonights game.

COWBOY'S.....-3.5

Beau Jangles should be horse of the year period. He has put together an undefeated 2yo season. He won the 2 biggest races for 2yos. He took on all the up and comers from around the country.

Yo Tillie didnt race in the Hambo Oaks and they didnt supplement her to the Futurity and she lost that start to Delaney Hanover...sure only one loss but she missed the 2 of the 3 biggest races of the year

The only true case is Miki and Minnie especially because she beat aged mares going away in her last start. 2 losses and again she skipped KY and that could make a difference

Lexus Kody didnt win the BC so its a nada on him as HOY

Long time discussion and debate. Similar to the talk about Beau Jangles and possibly getting HOTY. It's a cross-border, political, etc., type of discussion. The colt is again # 1 in the polls and while it comes from the USHWA, the Dan Patch Horse of the Year award is very coveted. Will he become the first Dan Patch Horse of the Year winner.....althou gh he never raced in the US. Forget about that, it is rare for any 2yo to get HOTY, and the last one who did also went undefeated in 12 starts as a 2yo! Other than that, I can only remember Niatross and Bret Hanover getting it.

I think there is, or used to be a requirement for HOTY, that the horse races in the US at least twice. Not sure if that still stands. Not taking anything away from some of the other legit contenders, but I think you can make a hell of a case for Beau Jangles. In today's day and age, aside from where the BC is held, many feel the biggest, most prestigious, most important, races are north of the border.
