Re: Where Is Frank Lyons?Did you guys see 58 Flat yesterday? Because there was this man who aksed Matt Carothers "Where's Frank?" Matt Carothers all of a sudden pannacked. And said uh we're gonna send you to Eliss Park race 6. That shows you that Frank Lyons maybe no longer with TVG. I think Matt told the guy off-camera what really happend to Frank.
Re: Where Is Frank Lyons?OK, I'm going to go out on a limb here because I can't offer you any proof. But remember back in the old forum (the one before this one) when I started a thread asking what was up with Frank on-air one day - I said he was acting strange? And everybody came back and indicated that he was either drunk or hung over. And I replied that his behavior wasn't like that at all, that it looked like a stroke to me (I've taken care of people who've had strokes and I know the symptoms).
Someone private messaged me and confirmed it - Frank had at least one stroke. He was having one while I was watching. I saw him a few times on-air after that and his personality was way different, not the old-fast-thinking, fast-quipping Frank anymore. It was sad to see. So like I said, I can offer no proof so don't try suing me. It's just my very strong opinion of why we never see him anymore. "And Afleet Alex just ran right by Giacomo like he was standing still!"

Re: Where Is Frank Lyons?Did see him walking up Via De La Valle across the street from Del Mar about a week ago, seemed fine.
Re: Where Is Frank Lyons?
Strokes, if they're small, don't necessarily affect the motor skills. "And Afleet Alex just ran right by Giacomo like he was standing still!"

Re: Where Is Frank Lyons?Seemed fine. Cant believe the network is being so quiet about him, if it was medical think they would have said something. To me the guy looked miserable when he had to cover the garbage they have to cover when racing is at SA. Know someone who has bought two horses he found in Europe and he probably made more on those two deals then he made in 2008 at TVG, think he just grew out of the job.
Re: Where Is Frank Lyons?Noticed good friends Frank Lyons and Gary Stevens no longer at TVG. I think neither man enjoyed the shenanigans over there of amateur comedy. I know Gary is a pretty serious dude and abruptly left them for HRTV and now is trying his hand at training. I think it's more than coincidence that both Frank & Gary are no longer at TVG.
Re: Where Is Frank Lyons?I thought Frank was Vinnie P's agent for the Ferndale meet.

Re: Where Is Frank Lyons?
True, and that's like having a license to cheat and steal, Frank is far superior at turf racing than the local contingent. And remember...Things work out best when you make the best of the way things work out.
Re: Where Is Frank Lyons?
Lol. Speaking of Ferndale, I saw Frank and Pat V at Deja Vu Showgirls last week in Eureka. I believe Maui and Tony were there too, but please trust, verify and confirm because I don't want to spread rumors. Vince P Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
