“Black cats. They kill me every time. I can just feel it when I see one...” — Bob Baffert Quote

Black cats. They kill me every time. I can just feel it when I see one. The only thing that gets me is black cats.

It's an incredible feeling for an owner or trainer to know they've got a superior race horse on their hands. You can tell when you have a really good one.

Well Belmont is the kind of track where we've had a lot of success, as have a lot of people in California, where you can ship in there, in a few days run the horses, the horses will run great and there's few tracks where you can do that.

I know there are people who say I'm lucky because it looks like I'm not doing anything. But it can't be luck this often.

Puppies and kittens are both great. Cats and dogs are not for me.

I'm not sure why I like cats so much. I mean, they're really cute obviously. They are both wild and domestic at the same time.

Scalded cats fear even cold water.

A lot of people don't really understand that a statistic is an indicator, but it doesn't really give the full picture of the body of work. There's been time when I've had one sack or no sacks and controlled a whole game, and I've seen other cats get three or four sacks and it had no effect on that game.

Actually, I don't hate cats, I'm just kind of afraid of them.
