Should be worth a squillion and will hold on to his assets but tax avoidance has cost him the way it did former UK jockey supremo Lester Piggott though Frankie will not end up in jail.

    Tax avoidance. Only available for the multi millionaires and above. The rest of us pay thru the a$$

    Not on your own there Mannie with that assessment. He was very shy believe it or not. Perhaps for the most couldn't be bothered with most people.

    I don't know if this is gospel but a taxi driver in England told me Lester told him about how racing was crooked etc. The thing I found most unbelievable was Lester catching a taxi but then again he was known for being very tight on the money front. He was once charged for breaking in to a 5 pound note :))

    Another story on the attitude front was a friend (not into horse racing) high up in hospitality once told me the rudest guest he had ever dealt with in a multitude of years was Bart Cummings
