So, I had a brief chat with Gabe Prewitt after the Jug final
I will post my summary of jug week later today
Anyhow.. nothing really earth shattering.
He said he was torn about the Hambo..hates to see it leave the Meadowlands, but that Hoosier was going to take the opportunity and run with it. Lots of the stakes that are on today's card and Dan Patch Day will be moved to Hambo Day
The likely race date is August 21st.
I asked him about the fractured relationship between Gural and Campbell, he really didn't want to get into that, but you could tell he is not a fan of Gural..and that it is sour grapes on Gural's part by creating the new races at the Meadowlands
As far as the KYSS finals, he said he wants more horses to be entered into the LBJ in future years and he realizes that the KYSS is in a direct conflict to jug week. Next year they MAY move the KYSS finals back a week.
Please don't shoot the messenger
