Please excuse us if we throw out a couple more Frankel tales.
One concerns a horse named Mehmet, one of Bobby's first good stakes-winners to go to stud. When it came time to dole out a breeding right or a syndicate share as promised, Bobby hit the roof. He said that would never happen to him again and he included a clause in future training agreements granting him such perquisites.
One of those future stakes-winners was Missionary Ridge who won the inaugural Pacific Classic at Del Mar after being purchased from Robert Sangster by Canadian Peter Wall.
When Wall first signed on with Bobby he was told how he could expect to know when they would be running.
"You have lots of money," he said. "Buy a racing form".
