Mister Friskey...Where is he?
Does anyone know what happened to the 1990 SA Derby Champion? Is he still alive?
Also I was young when this happened so I don't remember it too well but....is the 16 win streak by Mister Friskey official? Or because most of his career was in Puerto Rico, does that make it not count?

the 16 race win streak is a tie with citation, cigar and hallowed dreams. altho you only usually see the first two mentioned.
according to pedigreequery, he now stands in australia. hasn't sired much, with the exception of frisk me now, a millionaire.

One thing I remember about Mr Frisky is the arbitrage that was possible as a result of humongous betting on him in Puerto Rico. If you had bet every other horse in the race in Puerto Rican parimutuals, and bet Mr Frisky at Churchill Downs, you could have constructed a guaranteed win of over 30% of the total amount bet, regardless of which horse won the race.
