Default Good Bobby Frankel article

http://www.drf.com/news/frankels-rac...uggles-its-own

Quote:
During the first decade of the 21st century, Frankel's runners accumulated more than $131 million. The stables of Todd Pletcher and Steve Asmussen banked more -- no surprise there -- but a different look at the numbers offers a more revealing spin on the story. By average, each of Frankel's starters brought back a check of $28,323, topping the average Pletcher starter by more than $10,000 and the average Asmussen starter by more than $20,000.
Absolutely amazing numbers

Probably because he hadn't worked for Frankel for years before his passing and was already out on his own, unlike the people mentioned in the article.

All this post mortum slathering is hypocritical. When he was alive, hardly a week went by without someone taking him to task about something.

Death has a way of making heroes of most people. It's too bad the accolades weren't given when he was alive so HE could enjoy them.
