When you're riding, only the race in which you're riding is important.

There are one hundred and ninety nine ways to beat, but only one way to win; get there first.

Anybody with a little guts and the desire to apply himself can make it, he can make anything he wants to make of himself.

If Jack Nicklaus can win the Masters at 46, I can win the Kentucky Derby at 54.

The horse never knows I'm there until he needs me.
