Sprinter Quotations

The poster boy for our superabled future is Oscar Pistorius, an increasingly famous South African sprinter who happens to have had both of his legs amputated below the knee. Using upside down question mark-shaped carbon fiber sprinting prosthetics, called Cheetah blades, Mr. Pistorius can challenge the fastest sprinters in the world.

She had a sweet, sweet 50 in the prelims last year (26.1), so that was kind of what we were chasing and it just didn't quite come down for her this year. So I was hoping there was a 50 sprinter in there with that distant sprinter.

Kevin is currently competing as a sprinter at this particular point.

He's got at least another gear. There is a lot more to him. He is as good as any sprinter who has been here. And there have been some very good ones here.

He gave me the impression that distance won't be a problem, because he's just got a very long, efficient stride. He got in a real comfortable rhythm, and when I asked, he really finished. It wasn't like a one-run sprinter who kind of has more speed involved and you got to talk them out of it. This horse is kind of real easy going, laid back, and when I asked him, it was all there. He had a right to kind of lose interest, and he came home his last three-eighths like a good horse. I'm kind of excited about him.

It disappoints me that he has not got the recognition he deserves as a coach. He should be out there coaching more athletes on a national basis. If I'm the best sprinter in Britain, then he has to be the best coach.

John is going to show up. I can remember when John couldn't spell sprinter so yes, we're not taking anything for granted.

Right when I passed Lauren I didn't know what would happen because I know she's more of a sprinter and has a better kick than most of the milers.

I think it was really good that I was able to come second to a fast sprinter like Regina who had the best train to lead her out,

I would never say he's the fastest 3-year-old sprinter on the West Coast. Every time you say something like that another one pops put to prove you wrong. But I would say he's one of the fastest.

With the times he ran last year he proved to the world he was the best sprinter but now he just wants to prove it to himself again.

We have also added sprinter Dallas Roberts to give him one last chance to force his way into the relay squad.

They're totally different. Ticker Tape looks more like a sprinter type. This filly is a big, rangy filly with a big, long stride.

In her last two starts she broke very well. She can relax when she gets away fast early, and then she's really tough to beat. I'm not sure what's next. She's really a dyed-in-the-wool sprinter and you don't want to mess with that too much.

Everybody has a different view of him. For people who are into our sport, he's a legend regardless of what has happened at the Olympics. To me, he's a huge legend. He's the most winning sprinter ever.

It seems like a sprinter is never held in as high esteem as horses that go the routes. If I was voting, he would get my vote, I can tell you that.
