Not talking beer belly's.   
Talking full obese blimps.

Was one from Indiana years back who used to be a regular in Chicago.   

Who is the fattest you know?

These Photoshopped images are hilarious.

In my not-so-humble opinion, the idiot who came up with the passing lane should be shot. Half-mile racing was forever changed that day. This is yet another reason I love Delaware. Ohio. No passing lane. If a guy even thinks about a 30 second quarter, three guys are out running him down.

Dick McDermott was involved in the discussions to add that pacing lane and strongly advocated for it.   He and Duke were close like 2 peas in a pod.   Not sure whatever happened to him.

Gary shot him?

There was nothing fishy, no scam, no payout cause no one won.
All is well.

RIP RTP redrose

Hard to imagine a guy like Phil who always seemed to dress in style, arrive in style, and look the part is now in need of money to be buried.   I have sent what I could and hope they are able to get the funds needed to enter him into rest, respectfully.

I hope all of you take a moment and think about what happens when you pass.   Don't leave you family and strangers responsible for your final arrangements.

Making money?

Lets be frank, out of 3 million handle gural can hardly cover the purses paid.   Saturday night was in excess of 160k in purses.   That's over 5% of the nights handle.  He is lucky to get 3 or 4% of that 3 million.   

Still after paying purses he has how many employees?  Tellers, security, guest services, promotions, janitors, etc etc etc.

And even on top of that he has utilities.  Power, water, sewer, gas, phones and data services, etc etc etc.

Yeah he's really making money and can up the purses.   

I think he is doing the best he can with what he has and has made huge strides and progress among his customers and horsemen.

Furthermore, I never seen anyone from the meadowlands claim they were making money.   

To do so as a customer or to interpret that and post it on this forum is reckless at best and criminal at worst.

I was at The Meadowlands that night and lost my shirt

Niatross broke at the Meadowlands and recovered to be 4th in his Big M Pace elimination.   

He never jumped the rail there.
His only other loss was at Saratoga when he JUMPED THE HUBRAIL after being spooked.

bridge jumping at The Meadowlands has had numerous losses

the once thought of unbeatable Niatross jumped the rail there

That was Saratoga.
