This is a very informative thread and I hesitate to deflect it with a \'not entirely relevant\' comment. But here goes: I think you might find that Bobby Frankel\'s west coast career made a sharp upward turn after Chad Brown joined his barn, fresh out of his internship with the vet in Kentucky (at least I think it was Kentucky). I remember sitting in the Santa Anita clubhouse, watching Frankel\'s runner after runner rebreaking at the head of the lane and cruising home. The feeling was palpable that we were watching something happen that was extraordinary (emphasis on extraordinary).
