The Horsemen aren't entitled to anything.  The law they passed gave them nothing so why would anyone give up something they dont have to give up.

Todays horsemen don't think it is their job to clean anything up. Just show up with their hands out, palms up.

Why is this just about the Meadowlands. Shouldn't it be all of the tracks that get slot welfare or ON that gets tax payer bailout. Gural still pushing for the 30mln that they received from AC before Christie put a stop to it. Maybe the tracks should be able to grew and sell marijuana legally. Also set up brothels on track property and those revenues can be a subsidy to purses.

I like this. At least they are working for the money.
Now if Stacey Chiodo is the only available worker will there be a discount for the extra luggage ?

You think he did it for harness racing rather than himself? Don’t be silly. If the labor of horsemen wasn’t enriching him, fine. But horsemen should also have the same right to recoup their investments that he’s currently capitalizing on. It’s a two-way street. Nevertheless I agree with MR. DALRAE. It turned out to be a bad investment, after all. And them’s the breaks. It’s definitely going to hurt harness racing in a big big way.
People would much rather bet on a product they’re emotionally invested in. How harness will compete against can-do rah-rah home-town spirit and camaraderie, I do not know. But it’s a seriously tall order. My question is how that impacts the casinos that rely on racing to operate. Either they’ll do something to save racing for their own sakes or maneuver to establish independence from it, I figure.
