USTA requests New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania commissions investigate Gural

(Editor’s note: The following letter has been sent to officials at the New York State Gaming Commission, New Jersey Racing Commission and Pennsylvania State Horse Racing Commission and shared with HRU for publication)

An official investigation by one or more state regulators is needed for the following reasons.

Jeffrey Gural, chief executive of tracks licensed in New York and New Jersey, conducts a private enforcement program that includes drug testing carried out at a laboratory in Hong Kong and other testing facilities, as well as other investigative activities. In 2014 and 2015, the United States Trotting Association helped pay for this program, then withdrew support because of a lack of transparency in the program. At the USTA Executive Committee meeting held 16 April 2016 concerns were raised about the lack of due process for horsemen, possible selective enforcement, and our conviction that all test results should be turned over to the appropriate racing commissions.

More recently, as one result of its investigation of Seth Fishman, the FBI contacted Adrienne Hall, a Standardbred trainer and one of Fishman’s customers. Later, pursuant to a written nonprosecution agreement, Hall testified at Fishman’s January 2022 criminal trial. In her testimony Hall admitted under oath to doping her horses in violation of state laws and regulations, among other admissions. Since then, Gural has taken the position that Hall’s doping activities should be overlooked, therefore she should resume her equine-related occupations in good standing.

Some industry participants are of the opinion that Gural’s private enforcement program has yielded drug positives that he has not disclosed. Gural’s protective relationship with Hall, which involves substituting his own judgment for the judgment of racing commissions concerning her eligibility to be licensed, has renewed our concern about the possibility of a private empire operating independently inside the boundaries of public authority. This concern is central to the integrity and viability of racing and deserves the attention of the racing commissions.

Those who have paid into stakes at Gural’s tracks are entitled to know that they are not competing against others known to have had unrevealed positives or to have engaged in any other improper behavior.The entire industry is entitled to know that licensed tracks are being operated according to the highest standards of integrity.The state racing regulators are entitled to know that their licensee tracks and individuals are disclosing all information that is legally required to be disclosed, such as drug positives, and that there is no steering, shielding, or exertion of undue influence within the operation of any private enforcement program.Finally, the state racing regulators are entitled to credible assurances that no licensees are competing with them as self-appointed regulators.

If there are no undisclosed positives, and all is as it should be, we shall be glad to be among the first to acknowledge it. A thorough investigation, therefore, can only benefit racing.

A thorough investigation should not prove to be unduly burdensome, expensive, or time consuming. A review of all test reports for all years in question, submitted by the Hong Kong laboratory and any other testing facility directly to the commissions, should dispose of the question whether any undisclosed positives exist. Investigators and any other relevant parties the commissions deemed necessary could participate in interviews. The USTA will be available to provide any possible information and assistance.

Please contact Mike Tanner at the USTA if any questions

The last thing any harness racing horsemen need is for the USTA to get power like that.   Be careful what you wish for.

Russell would like an investigation.

But first lets premise what the USTA actually does and represents who, taken directly from the USTA Rule Book:

1.01 General Provisions. The following rules, regulations, fees and dues, having been duly enacted, are hereby declared to be the official rules, regulations, fees and dues of the USTA which shall apply to and govern the registration of Standardbred horses and the conduct of racing at non-pari-mutuel track members. All rules, regulations, fees and dues and/or modification or amendments thereto adopted by the Board of Directors shall become effective on May 1st following the annual meeting at which they were adopted unless otherwise specified. The term "fees and dues" refers to fees and dues for all memberships, registrations, certificates, transfers, horse name changes and licenses.

Except at those meetings where the races are conducted pursuant to the rules and regulations of a state racing authority, all published conditions and programs of
member tracks should state that said races shall be conducted under and governed by the Rules and Regulations of the United States Trotting Association.

Meaning Russell Williams and the USELESS TWATTING "ASS"OCIATION have no dog in this fight, none. From Phil Langley, Fred Noe to Russell Williams NEVER once has the USELESS TWATTING "ASS"OCIATION made an impact or improvement concerning PARI-MUTUEL racing, NONE   .

Russell and Mr. JEWLIE have some things in common however. Both will tell you how important they are in the BIG PICTURE of harness racing. Both make up self serving rules and regulations to benefit who, THEMSELVES. Gooofffrrraaallll Inc doesn't want HISA involved, but he tells you he does. Much like Williams will tell you HISA would harm harness racing. Why it would severely limit and hurt his breeding business, PERIOD at Hanover Shoe Farms.

Mr Jewlie and Russell operate the same way as Don the Con. Keep spinning stories so one can't get to the truth. Lie, deceive and DENY.

Get as many people as you can to muddy the waters.  

File frivolous appeals so you don't have to testify 

And file as many BS lawsuits as you can to slow the process down 

Co-Authors - Don the Con - Mr. JewLie and Baron Von Russell Williams

For 18 months, Gural had the biggest sportsbook in the USA.  Now online is legal all around him.

Now? ... His big thing for March is an Elvis Impersonator contest. 

[samstar]

I think the USTA is way out of line.  They have criminals using beards and don't give a shit about doing something about it and they attack a person who lives to clean up the sport.  Is Gural always right? Hell no,  Does he  always do what he thinks is right.  I think he does.  I suspect that this attack is personal between our Chairman of the board and that it is a cheap shot that will hurt our industry.0.

Allowing Hall to race was a cheap shot to horsepeople, owners and bettors

[The Exporter]

What we have here is who is in control. Mr. Williams or Jeffery. Neither one of them is made to follow one's lead. Through in Faraldo and you have the Ego Trifecta.
