Preakness Notes: Fradkins Happy To Take Detour From Commercial Market With Rombauer Sponsored by:
Rombauer at Pimlico race course on Friday morning
At this time a year ago, Diane and John Fradkin were trying to figure out what to do with the 2-year-old homebred colt they would later name Rombauer. A couple of unexpected turns, six races and $290,500 in purse earnings later, the versatile son of Twirling Candy has brought the Santa Ana, Calif. couple to Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Md., for Saturday s 146th Preakness Stakes (G1).
Rombauer is their first starter in a Triple Crown race.
“That s exciting,” John Fradkin said. “Generally speaking, we think of ourselves as small-time, commercial breeders. We aim to sell our progeny. This is a rarity. In the past we ve pretty much only raced horses that we couldn t sell. This is kind of an exception, just the way it all transpired.”
