Bob Baffert, the trainer of 2015 Triple Crown winner, American Pharoah, lives here. Robert A. Baffert is a racehorse trainer who trained the 2015 Triple Crown winner American Pharoah and 2018 Triple Crown winner Justify. Baffert's horses have won five Kentucky Derbies, seven Preakness Stakes, three Belmont Stakes and three Kentucky Oaks.
Baffert grew up on a ranch in Nogales, Arizona, where his family raised cattle and chickens. When he was 10, his father purchased some Quarter Horses and he practiced racing them on a dirt track. In his teens, he worked as a jockey for $100 a day in informal Quarter Horse races on the outskirts of Nogales. He moved from there to racing at legalized tracks, scoring his first victory at age 17 in 1970.
Bob Baffert has a net worth of $30 million dollars. It took Bob only 12 years to earn $1 million in race prizes as a rider. In 1991, he devoted himself to conditioning Thoroughbreds, a breed known for its speed, agility and spirit. He trained them for flat racing, a form of racing with a level track over a predetermined distance. He got his first big break in 1992 when he won his first Breeder's Cup race with a horse named Thirty Slews. The win came with a $1 million prize. Between 1997 and 1999 he won the Eclipse Award as outstanding trainer three years in a row and was voted the 1997 Big Sport Turfdom Award. Baffert was inducted into Lone Star Park's Hall of Fame in 2007 and in 2009 the National Museum of Racing's Hall of Fame in Sarasota Springs, New York named Baffert a finalist for induction into the Hall of Fame as a trainer. That same year Baffert was elected into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame alongside one of the best fillies he trained, Silverbulletday. To date, horses trained by Bob Baffert have earned hundreds of millions of dollars in prizes and stud fees.

Mysterious Citigroup Mansion (Former)
gordonhigh (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: gordonhigh.
Nestled on a knoll in the most prestigious area of wealthy La Canada Flintridge, this massive, imposing mansion stands out from its neighbors - partly because of its unkempt landscaping in contrast to their hyper-manicured lawns. Most of the grass in the front yard is either dry or choked by weeds, dead leaves abound, and the high gates that surround the property are rusty and cobweb-infested, a sign that the house has been vacant for a lengthy period of time.
From the street, the Tudor-style mansion gives off a gloomy and almost forbidding vibe, emphasized by the placement of dozens of life-size growling lion stone statues around the front and rear of the property. If one drives by at night, an eerie reddish-hued light can be seen emitting from some of the windows, though there are never any cars in the driveway.
Property records indicate the nearly 14,000-square-foot beast has been owned by Citigroup's corporate headquarters in Manhattan since the early 1990s. As of 2011, the property had an assessed value in excess of $5.2 million.
House was sold for 7 million in 2020.
