Is meadowlands trying to make their racing as bad as possible

[pocketrocketwinner]

        I agree. And the amateur racing brings lots of new fans to the sport.

Ugh. I've heard this so many times.
Harness racing has no fans. Its not a spectator sport.
What is has is gamblers. And no. Amatuer races do not bring any gamblers to the sport.

  The amateurs friends and family often come out to watch "their" amateur. Lots of new people at the track. And BTW learn how to spell amateur!

Exactly. They are watching. They are not gambling. People coming out to watch is 100% useless

why are you also commenting under Yonkers1a?? Under that alias you bash the Meadowlands now you’re trying to kiss up…. it’s not going to work little man.

It's a friggn' bulletin board. It's not me, but nice try. Enjoy yourself with that. I have no alias and never posted under one. I support Gural and his efforts, but I am still entitled to say the product is poor. Good luck with your policing.

LOL. Good luck with that. I've never been more grateful for something not being true.

You think bringing a bunch of old men driving brings new fans to the sport? When's the last time you peed in a bottle, it's time.

  Agree they are not high rollers but they do gamble some. And they frequent the concession stands.....

     Its not all old men     Many start young! Anthony Nap was an amateur for years.

I don't mean to come down hard on you pacer2. Apologies. What you said is a topic that just kills me. Game is never treated as a gambling game and it will end up killing the industry

There are some younger guys but many of the drivers are also very heavy. I usually don't bet those races anyway.

I try not to get too wrapped up in this anymore BUT since you are giving out lessons Pacer,
try using an apostrophe when referring to 'amateur's' friends.

  Its ok. I'm smart enough to realize that I'm not going to change your mind and your not going to change mine...and I'm pretty thick skinned.
