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.
