Vineyard Haven Sold...

Frankel wins tons more money each year than a lot of trainers. What does he need the Sheik's money for? If I were him, I'd have kept Vineyard Haven and have a chance at the Derby.

Like Hyman Roth, Frankel made money for all his partners in this deal. He played this card brilliantly and intended to sell all along. He waited until the offers were at their highest. He"s unbelievably shrewd.

Nice Hyman Roth reference!.. Baffert is STILL kicking himself for not buying VH when he had the chance. RF made the right move here.

Absolutely, positively, without question. He was "selling" this horse -- and brilliantly -- he was selling it to the buyer before the buyer even made an offer.
