“She looks so haughty that I should have thought her a princess at the very least, with a pedigree reaching as far back as the Deluge. But this lady was no better born than many other ladies who give themselves airs; and all sensible people laughed at her absurd pretensions.”
William Makepeace Thackeray
“PEDIGREE, n. The known part of the route from an arboreal ancestor with a swim bladder to an urban descendant with a cigarette.”
Ambrose Bierce
“She just had an outstanding conformation. It's nice to be able to buy into such a great pedigree. We were expecting to spend a lot, but $2.7-million sort of caught us by surprise. You want to do the right thing, though. Maybe she'll make that look like a bargain.”
Beverly Lewis
“She's got the conformation; she's got the pedigree; she's got the class. She's the kind that doesn't come along very often. I can't fault her. At the top end of the business, a horse has to keep climbing the ladder. Ever since the spring, every month, she matured and she headed the right way. They don't all do that.”
Craig Bandoroff
“I'd rather have an inch of a dog than miles of pedigree”
Dana Burnet
“Ryan is a very hard tackler, and he comes with a great soccer pedigree. Josh has been a three-sport athlete and I think he's really going to excel in college as he focuses on soccer. Collin loves to get forward and is a very proficient passer. Tracy is an explosive player who is extremely tricky on the ball.”
Dana Taylor
“The pedigree says he should handle the distance, and he trains like it, too.”
Dale Romans
“Marshall comes with a great pedigree and other teams are going to be aware of that. He draws the best defender from all of our opponents and still leads our team in points. He is great at getting his goals in the in-between moments and when it's least expected.”
Jason Lamb
“I am just excited by it all. The Bank of Ireland have already brought a rugby pedigree to our table and we are delighted it is continuing. They are key sponsors of Ulster Rugby and there is a tremendous amount of experience there. They have already brought a lot of guidance especially the way we should market things.”
Paul Jenkins
“I told my guys that perception and pedigree means nothing. Production means everything, and we're in the production business.”
