Frankel ... article LOL >>>> Frankel Should Be More Accommodating To The Media By: William F. Reed Editor's Note: The opinions expressed by Mr. Reed in this piece, and all of his installments, do not necessarily reflect the sentiments of Churchill Downs Incorporated or the CDSN Network of racetracks and web sites. LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Apr. 25, 2003) - The talented and esteemed trainer, Bobby Frankel, has requested that media members wait until the end of training hours before approaching him for interviews about his Kentucky Derby contenders, Empire Maker and Peace Rules, and other horses that will be running next week at Churchill Downs. As an individual who has been on the Derby trail since 1964, I urge my fellow media members to please honor this request. Mr. Frankel is so busy and important that he should not be bothered with silly media folks who are only trying to promote the sport from which he earns his living. Would anyone be so crass as to approach a brain surgeon before he goes into the operating room? A rocket scientist when a trip into outer space is approaching? A general when he's about to send troops into combat? Absolutely not. And surely Mr. Frankel, the genius du jour, deserves that kind of respect and distance. In fact, I doubt that I will approach him, even when he deems it to be appropriate, for fear of asking a question that would somehow distract or upset this brilliant, yet delicate, individual. I may be wrong, but I don't remember Bob Baffert, D. Wayne Lukas, Laz Barrera, Billy Turner, Horatio Luro, Lucien Laurin, Charlie Whittingham, LeRoy Jolley, John Campo, Woody Stephens, or Nick Zito ever making such a request. Sometimes they were too busy to talk. Their wishes were respected. Yet they also always have been accessible and delighted to talk, even if only in brief snatches of conversation between sending sets of horses to the track. But, hey, what did they know? They were only interested in doing their utmost to promote Thoroughbred racing and the Kentucky Derby. Mr. Frankel obviously exists on a far higher level, and that most definitely should be respected. So the poor slobs from the media, some of whom hold degrees from universities such as Harvard and Indiana and Duke, should make every effort to attend Mr. Frankel's 9:15 a.m. (EDT) press conferences, in the hope that they'll be blessed to garner a single pearl of wisdom from this intellectual giant and VIP. He sure makes Baffert look silly. Why, that guy, who only has won the Derby three times, has even been known to invite media members to jump into his car and accompany him to the front side to watch his horses work out in the week before the Derby.

Larry, I was just reading and reading on MIR's report from this morning and I think I will get back in. I bought a little today (too early :() but will probably buy more tomorrow. Still not the truckload I had before: have no stomach for it at this point. But 900 millions cash flow in 2002 looks good to me (when I found it ;)). I am still in EP and upset that it is not doing anything at this point. I just hope that all their troubles will clear up soon. I am out of WMB now, big in RRI, and practically out of CPN. But eyeing CPN for a good entry point. I am overall bullish on the market at this point and want to be in it but also see a need for a pullback here, especially in IPP's. wiesia
