It was almost as if he was able to establish a personal connection with every horse in the barn. “Bobby just had a natural gift, a natural feel, for not only training horses but for animals in general,” said Chad Brown, a former assistant who has established himself as a top conditioner. “He could almost sense what they were thinking and feeling.” https://www.americasbestracing.net/the-sport/2017-bobby-frankel-natural-horseman
From article Few major races other than the Kentucky Derby eluded Frankel, leading to his Hall of Fame induction in 1995. He earned six Breeders’ Cup victories, highlighted by Ghostzapper’s triumph in the 2004 Classic. His operation produced at least one Grade 1 winner every year from 1988 through his final season in 2009. Frankel trained 10 champions: Aldebaran, Bertrando, Ghostzapper, Ginger Punch, Intercontinental, Leroidesanimaux, Possibly Perfect, Ryafan, Squirtle Squirt and Wandesta. He was particularly adept at producing elite turf horses. His most prominent victories on grass included the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf (twice), the Arlington Million (twice), the Woodbine Mile (three times) and the Japan Cup.
