They started the pick 4 (races 2-5) without announcing driver changes in the 3rd, 4th and 5th.

I was making dinner and thought I heard that Sugg, Noble, Grismore, and Lems are ALL off for the rest of the card.  Anyone know what happened?  Seems rather odd.

FOR THOSE OF US THAT REMEMBER THE EARLY YEARS OF THE MEADOWLANDS, ALL OF THIS IS SOMEWHAT DEPRESSING. GOING INTO A HUGE GRANDSTAND WITH ALL DIFFERANT TYPES OF FOOD AND ALL THE BARS . IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE IN THE DAY.  HOW ABOUT THE LOUNGE IN TH BACKSTRETCH AT THE EAST END OF THE TRACK. HOW ABOUT THE SIGN IN THE TRACK KITCHEN "YOU CAN EAT YOUR BETTING MONEY BUT DON'T BET YOUR EATING MONEY".THE STAKE RACES ARE STILL GREAT BUT OVERNIGHT RACING IS REALLY SAD. :'(

 

Thanks for posting this.

Agree, wouldn't be there without him.  Sad to see what it has become most nights.  Saturday night cards used to be unbelievable!

Thankful! Without Jeff Gural we wouldn’t have the Meadowlands pace thank you Jeff!

One of the most influential stakes races for the glamour boy 3-year-old male pacing division, The Meadowlands Pace went for $656,000 in 2025. In ’26, it will go for $806,000 – an increase of 23 percent – in the event there are no eliminations for a second straight year, which would represent the biggest purse (USD) in North America for a pacing event!

Pathetic!

The reason why cheating, drugs, CAW is so pervasive and will be in that race too - ALL those things ending harness racing.

Get it through your numbskulls the golden days of racing are over.

This is an embarrassment and an insult and organized crime.

Be like the honest horseman and take your scraps until there is no more, you've done nothing to make racing better, just beggars for a little more until it ends.

Let the thieves that you're either jealous of or praise take the rest, as usual when you could of made them gone and brought integrity back to this fucking mess and worked back to those golden days.

You and the honest horseman, and the regulatory who are corrupt too, along with Jeffy and Team are all COWARDS!
