Famed trainer Bobby Frankel, 68, has died after a long battle with cancer.

He trained many top horses:

Frankel, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1995, trained 10 Eclipse champions in his 43-year career—Ghostzapper, Bertrando, Intercontinental, Leroidesanimaux, Possibly Perfect, Ryafan, Squirtle Squirt, Wandesta, Aldebaran, and Ginger Punch. His big moment in the Triple Crown was winning the 2003 Belmont Stakes (gr. I) with Juddmonte’s Empire Maker, who had finished second in the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) after missing training the entire week prior to the race with a foot bruise.
