You'd want to stay with a horse like that as long as possible. He's undefeated. He's training super. In a perfect world, Keyed Entry would already have gone two turns, so Johnny could have made a better comparison with Bluegrass Cat.

There are differences between being quick and fast. I think there's no doubt Marion was faster, but as far as being quick, I don't know. It's a good comparison. Ivory is quick and she's fast, too. I'd say Marion is faster, but quick? I don't know which one. (Quote by - Sylvia Hatchell)

Lack is relative in comparison to what others posess. All things are not equal and never shall be on this planet. (Quote by - kim booher)

Chairman Dean's outrageous comparison today between the United States and Iran is reckless and wrong.

It's pretty Green Zone here.'. (Quote by - David Enders)

There is not an equal treatment in comparison to art and literacy. We need more flexibility in our funding. (Quote by - Dean Gilbert)

There are violations but in comparison to before, it's much better than we expected. (Quote by - Gasser Abdel Razeq)

Not only will he break Hank Aaron 's record of 755 career home runs, he will blow it away. No less an authority than Aaron himself called him the greatest ballplayer that has ever played the game - - bar none. . . I'm serious about this. I've watched him play and, quite naturally, people are going to start assuming that he's doing certain things. Let's forget about that. This guy is in a world of his own. They try to compare Babe Ruth and say Babe Ruth was this. There's no comparison. (Quote by - Hank Aaron)

The market for farmland was off but now it is on. You can throw all the old price comparisons out the window. (Quote by - Richard Cook)

There's no comparison in output. (Quote by - Fernando Henrique Cardoso)

If you look at the Old Firm squads now, there's no comparison, . . I don't feel we're anything like as strong as them. We're still short of feeling we can compete with them but that remains our target. In saying that, if we can bring in a few more players, who knows?. (Quote by - George Burley)

There's no comparison. She goes for every shot. (Quote by - Amelie Mauresmo)
