The trainer’s first memory of horses was when he was 10. Robert J. Frankel’s parents wanted to watch the trotters on TV, and he wanted to watch something else.
Then, Frankel went to Roosevelt Raceway with his folks, and there, he was captivated by the gambling aspect of the sport. He came to know about Thoroughbred racing when his dad took him to Belmont Park.
Following that, it did not take long for Robert to get hooked. He used to go to a candy store in Far Rockaway at around 8 o’clock every night to get the Daily Racing Form as soon as it came out.
Frankel did so in order to get an early start on handicapping the following day’s races. After graduating from high school, he attended C.W. Post College on Long Island and eventually dropped out.
After quitting college, Bethenny Frankel’s old man worked in construction in the mornings, where he would put rock lath. Then, he’d leave for the track.
Eventually, Mr. Frankel became a hotwalker for Bill Corbellini and Biddy Bellew in Florida, and in the afternoons, he used to gamble. Then, in 1996, he took his trainer’s license.
Robert might have had decent earnings prior to starting his training career. After taking out his trainer’s license, Robert J. Frankel’s fortune rose significantly.
