He has many 2 year olds who are getting ready to make their debut. This guy has had the worst run of luck....especially for someone who has invested 30 plus million over the last few years.

Bob Baffert should have his own room around here.

Guy is a legend. Best trainer in the history of horse racing. True GOAT status. Plus the hair, plus his wife. Bobs a ROCKHARDTEN in my book.

I think I can sum it up pretty well with this.

How can you not dislike him after that? Plus he was kind of a douche to me at Saratoga a few years ago. On top of that, I thought his behavior after the Big Cap this year was pretty embarrassing.

What did Baffert do in the Big Cap that was embarrasing?

Artie Schiller went 1-2 in the Sir Beaufort. Nice.

The highlight for me is at about 5:25 in the video. Richard Mandella seems less than enthused to be told by Baffert that "You want to win it fair."

His response to Brad Free's questions were pretty funny also. When he's done with the horses, politics might be an easy transition based on those responses.

Good stuff. Mandella acted with class unlike Baffert in that video. Its funny how Mandella says those calls Baffert made to the stewards should be recorded.

Has he really spent that much money already? Please tell me he has a farm with a few choice broodmares somewhere in Kentucky.

His silks are eerily reminiscent of James MacIngvale.
