Bob Baffert Running Quotations

Silver Charm had the ideal running style. You could put him on the lead, or take back. He was smart and intelligent, a push-button horse to ride.

She was sitting on a race like this. I was leery about running her on this track but all the riders said it was safe.

He needs distance. When they start running a mile-and-an-eighth, that's when the cream rises to the top.

Everything went good; everything went to plan. Point of Impact, he's not running. We'll find a race for him. Running three in there is enough.

We went a little fast early. I'm just getting to know the horse, and we need to get him to relax a little bit. He showed some determination in the stretch, and I think we can improve off that. We are running against the best two-year-olds in the country, so I am pleased. Hopefully, he comes back in great shape. He's got a good future ahead of him and we're going to take our time with him.

I feel better running here. I wasn't thrilled about the mile and a quarter, or about shipping. A lot of horses have been floundering on the track back there.
