i have asked many of his friends about the current condition of BF, all of them said they dont know how he is doing. Prayers work miracles.

Why bother posting a link that's over four months old and doesn't really say anything? Anyone that has been paying attention knows that Bobby has been ill and is praying for him.

I met BF in 1978, he was a over weight & always let me come into his shedrow do see his grooms when they were working.

B was a professional handicapper, & Hall of Fame trainer. He had a 6th sense of knowing when threr was something wrong with his Tbs. Thats why he always stopped on his Tbs that were sore.

Many of B gallop boys told me they couldnt tell if his tbs were off, but B could see they were, he had a gift of talent.

Thanks for the memories B, we will miss u. Your friend Louis.

Because it was really the only link I could find concerning his illness. Like others, I was concerned.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and his many friends. Racing will certainly miss this great trainer.

Very sad, and he definitely will be missed.

It's cool. When I saw the thread and the link with no explanantion, I feared the worst. Sadly, the worst happened less than a day later.

The story I read said he was survived by a daughter. I thought he was married. No?

"Life's funny," Mr. Frankel said in 2000. "Sometimes things just happen, and they change your life completely. I wasn't born into this. I just followed my instincts and ended up where I am."
