Actually, I do agree with you on that. In his daily press session following the close of training at 8 o'clock on Kentucky Oaks morning, Frankel merely rolled with the punches concerning his big horse and expressed full confidence in him for Saturday's classic. "He pulled one of his acts," the trainer said. "But it's not a big deal, believe me. The whole family does it. Bet against him at your own risk. He's going to run a big race." When asked about his colt's right front foot, which he'd bruised in winning the Wood Memorial in New York April 12 and had been the subject of much talk and concern at Churchill Downs this week, the Brooklyn-born trainer used his best New Yorkese to state emphatically: "Forget about it. The foot is not an issue. His foot is fine. It is healed. In fact, I might even run him in a full shoe (instead of the three-quarter horse shoe he had put on him to ease pressure on the bruise.) I'll look at it in the morning and decide. But the foot is no longer an issue. Soundness will not be an issue. "I believe the script is already written. I think he's meant to win. They just don't want me to have an easy time of it here this week, so all this other stuff has been going on. But he's going to run good and I think he'll win it." Fred
