Meadowlands: Truce called between Sears and Gural

According to a statement sent out by Hall of Fame driver Brian Sears, he has come to an agreement with track operator Jeff Gural which will permit him to compete at The Meadowlands.

Here is the statement from Sears:

"Jeff Gural and I had several discussions earlier in the year. He made it known what he expected from me. I agreed to go to the Meadowlands in June during the break at Yonkers. After contemplating what opportunities I might have there, I went a different route. I’m pleased that we have come to an agreement that works for all parties and allows me to race at the Meadowlands and fulfill my commitments to the owners and trainers that have invested so much in our game."

Sears was listed to drive the Jimmy Takter-trained Thinkbig Dreambig in the Meadowlands Pace eliminations on July 7 but was not permitted to drive the horse by management.
