Meadowlands to reinstate post time drag

[Mohawk mac]

Great point!  There is little, if any difference in the amount of time between races.  Now the CAWS can go back to stealing more easily, I guess.

It was a matter of time. There really isn't much difference. They put up 7 less MTP & drag.

I find it amusing how some people don't realize that putting up 15 MTP and going on zero is the same as putting up 8 MTP and then sitting on zero for 7 minutes.

happy to see the Meadowlands trying something!

Barring something unforeseen the Meadowlands is not getting a casino with gural here.  He has to know this by now.  So he either keeps bitching bout losing money on keeping the track open or he pulls plug on big m.  My guess is next year he wants out.

He severely underestimated the strangle hold Atlantic City has on NJ government and its officials.  They were never going to let that happen from day one.  Jeffie thinks he is above all, and has found out he isn’t.  He has turned the BigM into a big joke!  Saturday nights had 100k claimers at one point.  Some of those classes now are just embarrassing the legend of M1.

not just Gural--but also all the delusional fans,bettors and most of the industry also thought a casino was going to save the game

they called him "savior"--and many still do

When he cried round one in NYS with licenses being awarded and won it made him even more arrogant. But that's NYS, look at the investment by far bigger fish than he in AC. Not to mention the people who live in Bergen don't want it anyway. 150k claimers at one point. Last night that asshole Gaagoots said to me that at least Settlemoir tried new ideas. I said with exception of one, hones world class HARNESS RACING. Not this...

THis had to be one of the dumbest things I've seen yet.  And I thought Ostrich races were dumb lol

I see that they are returning to the "drag"

but I don't see any statement about allowing Elite back into the WPS pools when they bet after the bell

the drag is to help retail bettors  ...the CAWs wait until all other bets are in and then they make their bets

if Gural is still stopping Elite from the WPS pools at 2 minutes till post time--.then you wont see a dramatic increase in overall handle

The poor CAWs lost their way with the drag and being cut off at 2mtp. Woah is me. No longer able to have a huge tactical advantage over everyone else. So gural reversed course cause it was costing him money

is Elite allowed to bet in the WPS pools after the bell again?

I cannot find any documentation
