• Hall of Fame trainer Bobby Frankel dies

  
  

  (Sports Network) - Hall of Fame trainer Bobby Frankel died Monday morning after a battle with leukemia. He was 68 years old.

  Various publications, including the Thoroughbred Times, reported that Frankel died at his home in Pacific Palisades, California.

  Frankel was a five-time Eclipse Award winning trainer and saddled six Breeders' Cup winners. He won just one Triple Crown race, though, capturing the 2003 Belmont Stakes with Empire Maker to deny Funny Cide a Triple Crown.

  A New York native who split time between California and New York tracks, Frankel was inducted into the Racing Hall of Fame in 1995.
