We had that poise and composure toward the end and we had some guys hit some key foul shots at the end.

I have lost a longtime friend, as did the entire racing community. He had a brilliant racing mind and was the architect of one of the most unique racing programs in the country.

We're not a big team and we're not as physical, but we don't come up short on effort. Eric had a great game for us and everyone out there gave a lot of effort.

Timmy does a good job; I was glad to see him get his first win. He's a good coach and if he's over there for a while you'll see that program do pretty well.

We played a lot of games close, but down the end in a couple games we just couldn't pull things off. It's been that way all year, I don't know what it is.

It feels good to finally get into the win column. The last couple of games, we haven't really played good defense. Today, we did pretty well in the field, we took advantage of our opportunities and I think that's what helped us.

We'll meet with our department heads on Thursday and Friday when we have a better picture of where the hurricane is going, before deciding on racing for Saturday and Sunday.

Parts of the roofs were peeled back like sardine cans. Fortunately, those sections were not over occupied stalls. And, fortunately, no one was in the horse trailer when it was squashed.
