Old Friends Equine awarded the Bobby Frankel Award to the staff of the Daily Racing Form on June 5, 2013 in recognition of the publication’s 90-page glossy tribute to the famous racehorses (with 2002 Belmont Stakes winner Sarava is on its cover), who now reside at the famous Kentucky retirement facility. Michael Blowen, president and co-founder of Old Friends Equine, and previous guest on this show, presented eight staff members of the racing industry publication with the award during a fundraising gala at Oheka Castle in New York. The award, named for the late New York-based Thoroughbred trainer Bobby Frankel is presented to people and organizations who best exemplify the Old Friends mission to help ex-racehorses at the end of their racing days
