I don't think anyone is questioning Frankel's abilities as a trainer. The problem I have with him is when he enters a horse other trainers who fear his horse will not bother and the entries will usually result in a short field. Then the guy takes his toys and goes home when he doesn't get the weight he thinks he deserves.

It's similar to the Chicago Bulls if Michael Jordan was forced to wear a fanny pack with 3 pebbles in it and he decided that he wasn't going to play tonight. It's just ridiculous and petty bullsheist and it's another in a long list of reasons why the sport is suffering.

Frankel needs to stop being a little bitch.

But on the other side we have others hopelessly overmatching their horses and or squeezing them dry by entering them too much and breaking them down...nobody is truly perfect.
