Here's a real shocker!

[The Indomitable DrugS]

He typically doesn't scratch because of weight---he'll just skip a handicap race and not enter if he feels he was given an unfair weight assignment.

Or, in some cases (Wild Spirit) he will run, and get beat a nose, and whine about it....though I believe that was more Jerry Bailey than Frankel....who, in one of his all-time greatest moments....personally blamed the racing sec. for him losing the race in a televised interview as well.

After that classic "I was on the best horse...but racing secretary Mike Lakow just got us beat today" quote -- as perhaps fallout...Jerry Bailey was fined a few days later for whipping one of his mounts about ten yards after the wire.
