"Without sports, what would we hold on to?"- ESPN

"If you have ever felt the spell of the race track and know what it means to hear the song of the bugle and to see the field go parading to the post in single file past the judges' stand, with the smell of the stable and the fragrance of the flowers tingling in your veins; if the call of the Thoroughbred is so strong that your world would be less than half a world without him in it to make you laugh and cry and pray and curse, then you understand the thrill that comes with the memory of Turf gladiators of the past, prancing idols of bygone days with their hearts of iron and muscles of steel and skins of satin. It is so with me."- Sam Hildreth and James R. Crowell, The Spell of the Turf

"Maybe it's not about being the best. Maybe it's about finding the little things that get you through the day.

Oh look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out on to Grey Street

She thinks, “Hey,
How did I come to this?
I dream myself a thousand times around the world,
But I can’t get out of this place”

There’s an emptiness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart

How she wishes it was different
She prays to God most every night
And though she swears it doesn’t listen
There’s still a hope in her it might

She says, “I pray
I pray
But they fall on deaf ears,
Am I supposed to take it on myself?
To get out of this place”

Oh there’s loneliness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
And though it’s red blood bleeding from her now
It feels like cold blue ice in her heart
When all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart

There’s a stranger speaks outside her door
Says take what you can from your dreams
Make them as real as anything
Oh it’d take the work out of the courage
-"Grey Street," Dave Matthews Band
