The Tuesday afternoons have really become so popular for us that we thought if this is the week we're going to open, why wait until Friday or Saturday?

I don't want to say that Verona outplayed us. But they played better. I thought we were ready to give them a little bit better game than we did, but we dug ourselves a hole early and used up a lot of energy trying to get out.

It was a very, very good day in Springfield for the horse racing industry.

It'll have content and functions none of us have even thought of today.

That's why I thought the Penn State win for us was so good because it got us our first road win where we know we can do it now. Hopefully we can carry that win through and carry the momentum we have and keep on moving forward here.

I thought it was overall good competition, but the cool weather and the wind did not cooperate with us. It's been so hot lately and then, bam, we get this cold spell.
