“I go through airports and people see the white hair and they said, 'He...” — Bob Baffert Quote

I go through airports and people see the white hair and they said, 'Hey, the horse guy! Aren't you the horse guy?' Or I get, 'Has anybody told you that you look just like Bob Baffert?' I say, 'He must be a good-looking guy.'

I've won the Derby with the best horse and I've lost the Derby with the best horse.

This is not about you or me; it's about a horse making history. It's sacred. Most people don't remember the trainer or jockey or owner of Secretariat or Affirmed. I have to look most of them up. This is about the horse.

I might get to the barn later, but I stay longer, and that's what counts.

In my barn, everyone gets a fair and equal shot.

The core of airport fashion is 'not too much.' It is the best way to put a small amount of edge to your daily, comfortable style.

I watch children a great deal; their idea is that rules are always negotiable, whereas you absolutely cannot joke at the airport about your toothpaste, and you cannot rollerblade in Grand Central Station. I keep running up against these things.

You never know what's going to happen en route to the airport or station and the last thing you want is to get there just as your train or plane is disappearing into the distance. Get there early, read a book, have a coffee and don't get stressed.

So much better to write pen on paper; you can do it anywhere, say, while stuck at the airport.
