Vintage Equicizer Video Series - Part 2

What did you all think of our last post showcasing some Vintage Equicizer Videos? If you didn't catch the first part of this series, click here to see what you missed! We shared two videos, the first featured an interview that aired on NBC in 1990 that gave viewers a look inside Frankie's New York City single car garage where he built over 400 Equicizers during the duration of his career. The second video included an interview with Frankie after his 1,000th career win and footage of the race itself.

This week we have two more videos to share!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

This video is a 1997 interview that aired in New Orleans and showcases how the Equicizer quickly evolved into a necessary tool for jockey's rehabbing and maintaining the fitness required to ride races, and includes demos aboard the Equicizer with Frankie himself.

The final and most recent video we want to share is from August, 2003 and was a feature segment that aired on Horsin' Around TV with Joe Kristufek and Katie Mikolay. Along with additional behind the scenes vintage Equicizer clips, it includes footage of Frankie's OTB (Off Track Band) during one of their weekly gigs.

This has been a fun trip down memory lane for us and, we hope, for you too!

Vintage Equicizer Video Series - Part 1

This week we're going to take a trip down memory lane! Many of our customers and even friends, are fascinated with the background of Equicizer creator Frankie Lovato... and for good reason! Frankie's status as a top notch professional jockey for over 25 years isn't one you come across often. We have recapped the highlights from Frankie's career in past blogs, from our "The Birth of the Equicizer" series to a Q&A "Meet the Equicizer Team" post with Frankie this past summer.

Recently, we came across some old videos from interviews taken during Frankie's career that we thought you might enjoy. Our production capabilities and market reach has expanded greatly from when Frankie was riding professionally but the Equicizer was still very well known with-in the racing industry at the time these interview were conducted. That's one of the reasons we're so excited to share these with you, there is a ton of never before seen footage and lots of vintage Equicizer history!

There are four videos in total, which we've decided to break up into two blogs as not to overwhelm the reader. We hope you enjoy this walk down memory lane as much as we did!

~~~~~~~~~~~

The first of the videos we're sharing today was taken from a Breeders Cup segment that aired on NBC in 1990. You'll get a behind the scenes tour inside Frankie's garage in New York City, the original home of the Equicizer and the location he built them out of until his retirement and relocation to Ohio in 2006.

The second video we want to share features a 1992 interview with Frankie after his 1,000th winner... the segment also includes footage of the race itself!

Stay tuned in two weeks for additional vintage videos featuring one woman's return to race riding by way of the Equicizer, old clips of Frankie personally demonstrating aboard the Equicizer and some bonus footage of Frankie playing with the OTB (Off Track Band) he formed and maintained during the second half of his racing career.
