I would like to personally thank Jeff Gural for hosting the Hambo!

No longer owners.. got out long ago..
No slot welfare, no harness racing

Who’s talking about slot welfare?!?! I guess you conveniently ignored the fact that racetracks existed before these casinos join them so just because a racetrack has inflated purses, that’s the cost of doing business with a racetrack and that’s how the casinos were able to get their doors open. But of course you conveniently ignore that.

 We’re talking about owners trainers and drivers making record money. That’s thriving.

47'states have casinos, how many states have racetracks, a helluva lot less. If a racetrack closed down, the casino would still be in busines. If the welfare was cut or eliminated entirely purses would drop big time and some tracks would wind up closing.and that's a fact whether you accept it or not n

Paintbrush looks like he overdosed on turpentine today because he's mixing it up with everyone in between agreeing with "G" and kissing Mark Ford's ass

Gural is an exception to harness racing.  He is personally involved in owning and breeding! He has skin in the game! The majority of other racetracks are owned by gambling coops--e.g, MGM, Penn National, et al.

Whether you like him and his policies or not he is doing what he thinks is best.  He gets this privilege as he actually is responsible for running racetracks.  Right/wrong/good/bad!  He is actually fan friendly too!  I said hello to him at Tioga Downs for the Empire Breeders Classic.  The staff actually encourages you to do this too!

No need for a history lesson on Jeff Gural, I know all about him.
