Vindictiveness with no concern about the fans or the fact that Hoosier has one third the fan appeal of the Meadowlands. Sounds about right for harness racing leadership. Time to end the handouts.

Not my opinion, but #2 is interesting.


Key Reasons for the problem at The Meadowlands:

1- Casino License Push: Gural stated he could not commit to a long-term five-year contract to host the expensive event without knowing if the track would receive a lucrative North Jersey casino license. New Jersey must pass a referendum to allow a casino at the Meadowlands, as state law currently limits casinos to Atlantic City.

2- Integrity and Medication Rules: A major point of contention involves disagreements over misconduct rules. Gural has been vocal about tightening regulations against trainers suspected of using performance-enhancing drugs, creating friction with the Society over which trainers and drivers are permitted to compete.

3- Long-term Financial Certainty: Because of the financial cloud over the New Jersey track, the Hambletonian Society opened bidding to secure a stable, long-term home for harness racing's most prestigious event.
