Remembering Bobby Frankel

I had just gotten home from breakfest and put on my IPod was saddened to see on Echofon (Twitter app), that Bobby Frankel had lost his battle with cancer. I'll be honest with you, while he was not one of my favorite trainers he really did care for his animals.

I cried with tears of sadness when Empire Maker had beaten Funny Cide in the Belmont. And was happy for him when Ventura and Champs Elysees won the Woodbine Mile and Candidian International this year respectivly. By far Megahertz, Peace Rules, Ventura, Champs Elysees, and Mass Media will go down as my favorite Frankel trainees.

Here is a video of the little ball of dynamite that is Megahertz winning the 2005 Yellow Ribbon at Santa Anita.
