Funny Frankel Stories

Postby MikeFromGardena » Fri Mar 01, 2013 3:51 pm

Everybody has a Bobby Frankel story:

Veteran jockey agent Scotty McClellan said, "I won a $500,000 race with Chris McCarron. For the horse's next race, he took McCarron off and told me, 'Scotty, I just didn't like the way he rode him.'"

Pincay fell off a Frankel horse and broke his collarbone. Frankel went to the hospital and said only, "You needed a vacation, anyway."

I remember a classic Frankel story at SA as he saddled an entry for Juddmonte Farms for a turf race with Desormeaux
and Stevens riding. The horses run one, two and each rider claims foul against each other. Frankel in his best
Brooklyn drawl says to both of them "what are you guys? Freaking monkeys!"
