All You Idiots Are Missing the Point

[Brown jug]

yes gural brought this on himself by not renewing when he had control
personally i dont like the racing style at hoosier, very boring
but i agree with the point it is not good for racing overall
the center point of harness racing is moving west

I wanted the Hambo to stay at the Meadowlands
I am a traditionalist
I would not want the LBJ to ever leave Delaware.
It is bad for the industry.. but having said that, the location of the Hambo would not save an industry that is dying a slow death one track at a time.
Like Mike P mentioned handle was down and the production wasn't great.
Its unfortunate that J Campbell and Gural couldn't compromise and come to some sort of agreement, but after reading the article posted on another thread, that was never going to happen. Seems like alot of bad blood between them.
Hell I will definitely make the trek though from Delaware to Anderson and cross this item off my bucket list.
Cue the incoming insults in 3,2,1

I read a posted article on the decision to move the Hambo. and I think both parties should have worked it out to stay at the Meadowlands. I would think that if they let Gural go year-to-year with hosting the Hambo, it might have worked. I agree with Gural that the 25 million people who live within 25 miles of the Meadowlands is a big factor for attendance and handle. I wish it would have stayed at the Meadowlands. I too love tradition. But I'm a realist. The decision has been made. So for harness racing interests and for the locals who will host the event, I wish them good luck. My wife and I have never been to Indiana so maybe we'll see the next one there.

Roughly 12 million people within ten mile radius including the five boroughs of NYC surrounding The Meadowlands. They handled $6,158,290 this year. Come on, this is the best the best could do for harness racing in the states??? Reality, the public doesn't want it. Numbers don't lie.

So whats your point...handle will be less at Hoosier

I dont know what u mean by production isnt good. The day is wonderful if you are a harness fan. The tv show media and undercard is outstanding

The word is 'WAS' not IS. Get used to it already. Just settle back and ride with your CAW brethren.
