    Default RIP Bobby Frankel

    I love this story:

    "One day in New York in the early 1960s he took $40 to the track, got on a roll by hitting the daily double, and by day's end made a successful $3,000 win bet on a 3-1 shot. He came home with $20,000. 'I put the money on my mother's bed,' he recalled in 2003. 'She thought I had robbed a bank.'"

    Bobby epitomized New York horsemen and will truly be missed.

    One of the greatest horsemen to have ever lived. He's been battling for a while, but it is still sad to see him go. He loved his job and he loved the sport. Horse Racing needs more people like him.
