There was one on Kentucky Avenue that sunk so much that a lady couldn't even get out of her driveway.

I have to believe they liked Coach Mears. He had the teams and the gumption to compete with Kentucky. Like fighters, there is respect for each other.

I'm sick. I just got a call from Brereton Jones, the former governor of Kentucky. He said that everybody is so down about this because they thought this horse was so good for racing. It's not life or death. It's just a hair fracture. But it took my breath away when I heard the news.

He would be very pleased to be recognized by his own state. He was always very proud of Kentucky, always very proud to be from Kentucky.

Tough girls come from New York. Sweet girls, they're from Georgia. But us Kentucky girls, we have fire and ice in our blood. We can ride horses, be a debutante, throw left hooks, and drink with the boys, all the while making sweet tea, darlin'. And if we have an opinion, you know you're gonna hear it.

If he misses, Kentucky can get that rebound and get a shot.
