Gural explains the casino proposal

Harness racing at the "Big M" has certainly looked up since Jeff Gural became involved in 2011.

When it looked as though the famous Meadowlands Racetrack would close its doors for good, Jeff Gural stepped in and right from day one has started to turn the complex around.

The new stand is a testament to his determination to make the business work for everyone involved

The old way of doing things was gone and as you would expect in such circumstances Jeff Gural has ruffled a few feathers amomgst the established players there as he attempted to turn the Meadowlands into a multi faceted business of which harness racing is only a small part.

Just this week, Gural announced the proposal in conjunction with the Hard Rock International group to develop a huge casino and entertainment complex on the Meadowlands site.

There are still several hurdles for the proposal to clear with the major one being getting the issue on the ballot in 2015 in New Jersey.

Jeff Gural went on In The Sulky today to explain what the proposed complex would mean for harness racing at The Meadowlands and the problems still facing the project.
