Just curious--how come the meadowlands didn't get the freehold supplement?

From what was said here, weren't there rumors about this happening??

Gural did get the freehold supplement

Monmouth gets $10mil and Gural gets $10mil

No he does not. A $1.6 million taxpayer subsidy will be transferred from the recently closed Freehold Raceway in Monmouth County to the Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford, NJ. Gov. Phil Murphy recently signed a bill approving the move. $7.6 million is Gural's new total.......the original agreement:  All of the funds allocated to the thoroughbred industry will be allocated to Monmouth Park overnight purses. Of the funds allocated to the standardbred industry, 60 percent will be allocated to Meadowlands overnight purses, 16 percent to Freehold overnight purses, 12 percent to the New Jersey Sire Stakes purses, 6 percent to purse bonuses for New Jersey sired horses, and 6 percent for breeders awards purses.
