''Put her up against the top graduates of the top business schools or chief executives of the Fortune 500 and, assuming an even start with the same resources, she'd run rings around them,'' Buffett said in 1984, according to the New York Times.

"The only way to find out how good she is is to put her up against better company." Snowden indicated two-year-old rookie colt Rulership would most likely make his debut at Randwick on Saturday rather than in the Blue Diamond Preview (colts) at Caulfield on Saturday.

“Taylor is a really talented swimmer, and she works hard for everything she has,” Schraven said. “With her training, I would put her up against any girl in this area. What we’ve been trying to do is get her competition results to be at the same level as her training. Last year, it just didn’t happen for her in her (individual) events at WPIALs, and she was frustrated and disappointed. But she’s back swimming at a high level this year, and I’m confident she will keep getting better.”
