Deep Quotes
Tampa is not a hillbilly city. They know who Roy Jones and Antonio Tarver are. They know the deep lines of hatred these guys have for each other. That is what sells this fight. Sure, I'd love to have them in the same room because you can feel the tension. You can feel it. I'd love for the fans to see it, but if Roy doesn't show up until the week of the fight, or the night of the fight, what everybody will see is their hatred when they are in the ring.

Bay Quotes
Montreal (an 8-0 loss on Jan. 10, 2004) and Tampa Bay (9-0 loss on Nov. 8, 2003), those are the worst I've ever been part of. They were pretty bad. Sometimes the wheels fall off and you have to put them back on. True character will come out with the way we respond. Hopefully everyone's embarrassed so we can go out there and give our best effort.

Bay Quotes
There were two teams that manhandled us last year, Chicago and Tampa Bay. It was just the worst-case scenario that we had to play them seven times at the end of the season when we were right in the race. Any other team, we probably would have been there. We were beating everybody else, but for some reason, Tampa Bay had our number, and so did Chicago.

Bay Quotes
There really is no comment to be made and nothing to report. Everything seems to have taken on a life of its own. The most important thing is that Lou would like to finish the season without this major distraction. So neither he, myself nor the Tampa Bay Devil Rays have any comment to make.

Ahead Quotes
To date, Tampa has enjoyed a very strong race meeting. The first 48 days of the season have been exceptional in terms quality and growth of live handle both on and off track. As a result, overnight purses paid are up a respectable 6% over the 2004-05 season, and with several key race days ahead of us, I truly believe that another record meet will be completed on May 7, 2006.
