Julie may have trained 1 or 2 of his horses for him at one time.

this is the part Gural supporters would like to sweep under the rug

he claims to clean up the sport-but apparently has partnerships with Bongiorno, Burke, Julie Miller, etc and there are a different set of rules for them

He banned bonhiorno from driving after that horrible accident where a horse died. Reinstated him. He also banned bongiorno after his girlfriend won a race he was driving the favorite and the double came back $20 when the win price was $30. Reinstated there too.

You forgot when Joe said in an interview that his dad told him to race easy that week. I think Joe got a few weeks off for that.

Right. I think i also forgot when they got banned for a short period of time after a philadelphia positive. Then reinstated after he thought about it for a while.

I see Bartlett listed to drive Sat.
I guess I shouldn't be holding my breath for M1 or NJRWB to make a statement.
M1 has not replied to my comments.

They're not gonna take a hit like this now. However it doesn't mean NJRC isn't moving on it. I'd be STUNNED if they actually did their jobs though. I got word to Chris Seagreaves who I know got other calls. But don't bet on it.
Now the question is, just how far do I want to go with this???

  • Calhoun: Thx I'm leaning to the 5 there.  Those CD/GP full field races look the best on the page. 1/2 length from being a G3 winner.
