Bob Bone Quotes


You've got to look at general crime statistics, road safety statistics and all that sort of thing in deciding whether a place is safe or unsafe to visit. And certainly London does come out better in all those mundane but much more relevant statistics. - Bob Bone


Well I don't think it's a good one. Let me put this in context for you, we had over the last twenty years we've welcomed nearly 100,000 Americans, some young, some old, to take part in this event. Every single one has done so safely. - Bob Bone

And I really didn't want to ship Choctaw and then ship again to the Breeders' Cup; that was a big factor. - Bob Bone


I don't see any dimension that Lost in the Fog doesn't have. That's the trouble. Do you go after him early? Do you wait and make a run? It looks like no matter what you do, that horse can adjust. - Bob Bone


He's really the first good horse I owned. So I'll remember every one of his races. - Bob Bone
