JEALOUS? Of you? Why would ANYONE be jealous of you?
I was there opening night as well Dougie and I still have the race program! It was mobbed![/quoteWiz, I remember that they ran out of programs. I don't know what year Gural took over, but I've never seen a guy more hated/loved by so many fans. Gural and his wife stayed at a bungalow colony that my family also stayed at. I never really knew him but I think he and his family had rreal estate in NYC. Years later I was surprised when I read he bought the Meadowlands. I'm sure the days of big crowds are long gone. Except on Hambo day. I think they had 17,000 that day.
