Actually I was wrong about Dave writing the article. It was Steve Anderson.

If that doesn't kill Bobby then nothing will.

Frankel's illness is not to be mentioned on this website.

At least now everyone can see exactly why Frankel wanted the illness kept quiet.

It's a lovely gesture. Merely was stating one of the reasons Frankel preferred to keep the topic private.

Did Frankel tell you personally? Apparently the heads of Santa Anita Park didnt find anything wrong with showing support. There is a difference between that and openly talking about his actual illness

Does he read those Facebook messages?

I can guess that someone at Santa Anita will relay the info to him.

I see that someone has already registered at Facebook as DaTruth.

Oy vey... It was Frankel's desire to keep the illness personal. Is that so hard to comprehend? He's a private person. Now that it's out there, it's nice that there is a place where people can send their well wishes. Frankel will be embarrassed by it, but it's a nice gesture nonetheless.

Oh Vey! exactly it's a gesture not a topic of his illness.

Kasept 07-08-2009 10:45 PM

Here's a thought... If anyone here wants to personally reach Frankel with an expression of concern and wish for his health, you can send it to me and I will see that he gets it.

Hope he's back at the track soon.

I know how you feel Travis.

I volunteered to interview him for an 8 pager my friend ran in New York about 10 years ago. He gave me exactly 10 minutes (which is 10 minutes longer than I thought I'd get). I figured I'd try and warm him up by talking about Brooklyn and the old neighborhood. We talked about that for almost a half hour and I never got my interview!

Guess that communications degree was a waste.

You have to warm him up by telling him you too love his favorite horse Sightseek. :)

That's actually a good topic for discussion, that being, who is your favorite Frankel horse? I know yours!

Ghostzapper's an easy pick but of the Juddmonte lot I really liked Beat Hollow.
