Lucien Laurin Quotes in Secretariat (2010)

Penny Chenery: Well, Mr. Lauren. What do you think?

Lucien Laurin: I think he's 1100 pounds of baby fat. He eats too much, and too often, the only reason he doesn't eat more is 'cause he's too busy sleeping. He only does what *he* wants to do, exactly when *he* wants to do it. He lays against the back of that starting gate like he's in a hammock in the Caribbean. And when he finally *does* get out of the gate, it takes him forever to find his stride. Any other questions?

Miss Ham: I have one. How much did you spend on that hat?

Lucien Laurin: He's slower than a fat man encased in concrete being drug backwards.

Lucien Laurin: [as Secretariat nears the finish line at the Belmont Stakes] Ronnie, don't fall off!
