Gural
said, "I wish Mike well in his new position. Under his leadership,
we accomplished many important milestones including a successful live meet,
opening the Bayonne Off-Track Wagering facility and beginning the construction
of the new Meadowlands Racetrack. He has set a firm foundation of
customer service expectations for our employees and created many great customer
relationships."
Newlin
commented, “While the Meadowlands transition was a challenge, it is very
rewarding to look back and see what we accomplished in just one year. Our live
meet was up over 6% in attendance and up 8% in live on track handle. It has been an honor to be entrusted with the
Meadowlands legacy, but I have been interested in joining the Penn National
organization for a long time. The opportunity presented itself and I want to
continue to expand my professional experiences.
I want to thank Jeff Gural for giving me the chance to run one of the
premier racetracks in North America . I wish
Jeff and the New Meadowlands team the very best in the future.”
Rob Fitzpatrick (CFO) will
