He talks about the daily routines in the backstretch, and gives his thoughts on training, on horses, and on the racetrack world in general. This interview was recorded in two parts: The first is a general interview. The second is a complete description of a day in the backstretch. He also speaks about "claiming races" and the relationships among trainers. Collection is open for research. To request materials, please contact the Folklife Reading Room at Duplication of collection materials may be governed by copyright and other restrictions. This interview was recorded in the tack room of Robert Paterno's stabling area. It was conducted during a racing day and so there are junctures when the interview pauses to listen to the race announcer because Paterno was working as a pony person for a race in the late afternoon. The interview takes place directly below a bird cage, so there are bird sounds recorded throughout the interview. In a few instances, Robert Paterno's words have been transcribed in their entirety and put in quotation marks. He uses two proverbial expressions during the interview. He uses several instances of racetrack "language" and defines those words that he uses. Recorded at the Tampa Bay Downs Racetrack, Tampa Bay, Florida, February 17, 2013.
