Addressing the fact that racetrack owner Jeff Gural is trying to attract financing to take over the Meadowlands Racetrack, Liguori said, "[Gural is] trying to take over an operation that's losing $12 million or so a year, so savings have to come from different places, and the biggest cost is probably payroll — whether management or union. That reality is setting in."

as a long time attendee of the big m, i noticed several things recently. it seems since mr gural (my new hero) attended the races one night and gave a little speech, the amount of workers on site has increased tenfold.
they have people sweeping up tickets that aren't there! there were 3 women selling programs at the same desk, to betters who were nowhere in site! the waste is at ridiculous levels and the sooner ownership changes the better.
it's like a race to get your hours in now because "the times they are a changin"
