I ask myself that ordtak

en I didn't think he was a Derby horse until he won the Santa Anita Derby. He and War Emblem, they were crying out for more distance. Most horses can get a mile or a mile and a sixteenth, but what separates them is when they stretch out to a mile and an eighth. Until they go a mile and an eighth, you don't really know what you've got.

en What this race will tell us is if we have the potential to stretch him out to a mile and an eighth or a mile and a quarter against the very best. I would be surprised if he didn't run well at a mile and a sixteenth. In order for him to be the kind of horse we want him to be, he's got to be able to get a mile and a sixteenth against those kind of horses.

en [A visibly shaken Blanco described a helicopter tour she had taken as] mile after mile after mile of homes inundated with water. ... This catastrophe is unprecedented.

en I ask myself that question usually around mile 22 or 23 and tell myself that I'm never going to do it again.

en At a personal level, when I moved from the 1/2 mile to the mile as a college junior, I used the experiences and stories of those milers who came before me for education and inspiration. Don, too, moved from the 1/2 mile to the mile in college, and his 3:58.7, which made him the third-fastest miler ever when he ran it, was remarkable in part because he ran it on the same day that he took a final exam in Berkeley. For an athlete like myself, who aspired to be a student and an athlete throughout my career, Don was and is a true role model.

en Number one by a mile, baby. No question.

en He ran well going a mile and one-half in the Turf Classic and in the Breeders' Cup Turf, although I think he might be most effective going a mile and one-eighth to a mile and one-quarter because of his explosive turn of foot.

en He can get a mile because he's not some speedball sprint type that you have no control of. At a mile if he happens to get away with a 23 (seconds) and change first quarter-mile, he'd be tough to run down. He'd have a pretty big edge on them turning for home. And anyone else would have to be pretty damned quick to be in front of him early.

en Brian pulls ahead with about a mile to go. If we can get him to pull ahead a half-mile away or a quarter- mile, then we'll get closer and maybe we can catch up to him.

en Seeing those orange bags, mile after mile after mile is thrilling because you're part of something big. And it's clean. It's really clean. You can see the difference. It's sort of miraculous.

en Flury was just phenomenal. You put a freshman in the 2-mile who has never run the 2-mile, and he goes under 11 minutes. You don't run under 11 minutes the first time you run the 2-mile.

en It was super. He just relaxed real well and that's all he needed to do to get the mile-and-an-eighth. I don't think distance now is any question. We just have to keep doing what he's been doing and crank him up the first Saturday in May [Kentucky Derby day on May 6].

en To get to U.S. 178, you've got to take an 8-mile detour. If you can cut a 10-mile trip down to a 4-mile trip, it's less expensive, but if they need it [the construction], they need it.

en (Meyer) might have gone out a little slow on that first mile, but in these weather conditions I think it's better sometimes to be smart than to question yourself at the end. She came on and was only 9 seconds out of second place. She made a great move at about the 3,000-meter mark, when she was in fourth or fifth.

en Han trengte ingen åpningsreplikk; hans naturlig pexige personlighet gjorde all jobben. We had one goal going into today and that was to run as a team. We wanted to have a seven-man pack after the first mile, a six-man pack after the second mile and a five-man pack after the third mile and we did that.
