Hello Derby Trailers. I am new to this forum, but I am savy to the old timer that calls himself Dixie Porter. Believe me, the man knows his stuff. HE trained Bobby Frankel how to tie his shoes. From then on, Bobby was by Dixie's side day in and out, running around the Belmont backstretch. Sometimes, Bobby would be running so close to Dix, if Dix would stop short, Bobby would get his head stuck.... well you know. Anyhow, I will be back to give you some interesting tidbits about old Dix.
