Post by: pezz97 on November 09, 2012, 06:14:09 PM

I may think he try's to act like God when it come to racing, but this is all class!  thumbsup thumbsup

In addition to having his Tioga Downs and Vernon Downs raise money for Hurricane Sandy relief, New Meadowlands Racetrack LLC Chairman Jeff Gural has pledged $250,000 to the American Red Cross to assist with relief efforts in New Jersey.

Gural and his wife, Paula, will make a personal donation of $200,000, while another $50,000 will be donated by the Meadowlands Racetrack, the world

we have no food here in Long Beach and have been eating those delicious fox hole treats being distributed by the National Guard and bottled water

I still can't believe the finer restaurants don't serve these gourmet meals

when you are able to enjoy the finer things in life like flipping on a switch and getting light and using indoor plumbing, nothing else seems so bad anymore

Sounds horrible JJ. The media is not saying a word about it. I guess it's only a shame when W is in office. If you need a place to stay in IL come on over to my house. Hope you get some relief soon.

Absolutely a wonderful gesture by Mr. Gural.   I was glad to read this topic here with rave reviews and acceptance of Jeff's goodwill.   

It saddened me to read another popular web forum which had members and administration blasting Mr. Gural saying he didn't do enough.

Good luck to Jeff when the Big M reopens and all the best in all his racing endeavors.

Keep Jordanjacob in your thoughts and prayers. It's really bad where he's at, and now has to have his house gutted to repair the damage. And the conditions are horrible. Hang in there JJ.

There are good people still living among us.
The coach everyone loves to hate, John Calipari, and his employer, U. of Kentucky, put together a telethon with Calipari's team helping man the phonr banks.
They put together donations totaling just under $1,000,000 in a 24 hour period and delivered the check on their trip to Brooklyn to whip the U. of Maryland.
The difference between the total raised and the $1 million figure was made up by
Calipari himself. Something like $13k.
