For no other reason than I've never got one ready that early. But I'd imagine it would be difficult to run a horse that was used to pushing through our soft jumps.

I don't know how how he got away and won that race. I just said to the owners he's six lengths better today and he'll win this one easily.

I like Carter to play games in. I don't like the fact that we're at a severe disadvantage because we don't have a practice facility. I've virtually practiced every hour on the clock except midnight, 1 a.m., 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. I've been in the gym at every other hour.

It was $20,000 for running eighth in the Australian Cup and I thought I'd run him and go to the Queen's Cup next week.

There's no better atmosphere than what we played in tonight. It just can't get better than it was. There cannot be a better college basketball atmosphere than we had tonight.
