Harness Racing's Reality Check
A recent letter to the editor in HRU has sparked concern about the future of harness racing, with the author suggesting that Jeff Gural, the steward of The Meadowlands Racetrack, should be replaced due to poor sales results.
However, this demand is ironic considering the historical context and current realities of the sport. Fifteen years ago, The Meadowlands was on the brink of closure, and its future was uncertain.
Without Gural's financial commitment and vision, The Meadowlands would no longer exist – period.
Gural's intervention saved the track, and his stewardship has been crucial to its survival. While passion alone cannot save a sport in decline, it is essential to recognize the importance of Gural's role in preserving harness racing in New Jersey and the United States.
Author's summary: Jeff Gural's leadership has been instrumental in saving The Meadowlands Racetrack.
