Friday?s topping-off ceremony at the Meadowlands Sports Complex was mainly about the new racetrack grandstand that will open in November.
But another sort of gambling was on the minds of most there, including track operator Jeff Gural, who said, ?Someday a casino will be here, I hope.?

?Let?s have casinos,? wrote Assemblyman Ralph Caputo, D-Essex.
?I will be back for the casino steel erection!? wrote state Sen. Paul Sarlo, D-Wood-Ridge.
Both men have consistently pushed in Trenton for a Meadowlands casino, though they have been rebuffed so far by fellow Democrat and state Senate President Stephen Sweeney, D-Gloucester ? who also attended the ceremony ? as well as Governor Christie.
