Employee of the Year James Frank

James Frank has literally come a long way, from his native Zimbabwe to Newmarket, where he has been based for the best part of the last two decades. For the last seven years he has been employed by Anthony Oppenheimer, and the 42-year-old timed his run to perfection when he started his stint working with the yearlings at the farm. Among the first bunch with which Frank was associated was a young colt by Cape Cross (Ire) who would be named Golden Horn (GB) and go on to become champion 3-year-old and Horse of the Year after a season which saw him win the Derby, Eclipse, Irish Champion S. and the Arc.
