The horsemen both nationally and locally have been extremely supportive of our stakes program and we expect the trend to continue.

We are proud to offer this beefed up stakes schedule to our horsemen for our 41st-consecutive season in southwest Louisiana and feel it is certain to be the best ever.

This [peer advisor] program has been nationally known for its excellence.

Our mentors are an extremely important component to our program.

I think it's clear that [Warner] would be an extremely attractive candidate nationally. He could point to real results in Virginia and historic investments in education, environment and public safety. He has a record of bringing people together.

Winning this game would do a lot for us nationally. It puts your program in a permanent national status.
