Two days before Christmas, on a night when chilly but dry conditions prevailed, Rosecroft Raceway put the finishing touches on its 2020 racing season by offering a trio of $20,000 Open events for trotters and pacers on Dec. 23.
In addition to hosting the Maryland Invitational for older pacers, the Maryland Distaff for pacing fillies and mares and the Maryland Trotting Derby for older trotters, Rosecroft also honored its leading pacer, trotter, driver and trainer.

Here are some extra notes, quotes, tweets, stats and whatever else I could find in the old notebook that didn’t fit in print after Tuesday’s 104-65 Lobos win over NAIA school Our Lady of the Lake in Houston, Texas:

OK, so the opponents haven’t been the type of physical team that the Lobos will see soon in Mountain West play. Certainly not in the paint.
But the schedule is what it is and at this point UNM’s three newcomer forwards have been nothing short of dominant down low. Rod Brown (6-foot-7, 218-pounds), Bayron Matos (6-9, 215) and Valdir Manuel (6-10, 225) have done everything asked of them to help carry over the Lobo coaching staff’s primary point of emphasis from the unique offseason in which U
