\nBay speedster closed out the 2015 campaign with three straight G1 victories,\u00a0 all against older horses,\u00a0 culminating with a smashing,\u00a0 stalking triumph in the rich,\u00a0 $6M\u00a0 Japan Classic.\u00a0 Dixiedotco runner accumulated the most division points in the SIM behind only Horse Of The Year,\u00a0 Dark Mandu.\u00a0 Ultra-consistent colt\u00a0 has twelve straight exacta finishes after debut 3rd. \u00a0<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nHe got his 2015 season off successfully,\u00a0 breaking his maiden at 9 furlongs in his 3rd career run.\u00a0 After that,\u00a0 he won his first allowance test in a state bred affair at\u00a0 9.5 furlongs,\u00a0 holding on after stalking the early leaders.\u00a0 Next up was a good 2nd in his stakes debut in the Hawks Heir listed stakes at 9 panels.\u00a0 Dixiedotco then ran him through his allowance conditions ( 2 wins and a place ),\u00a0 gradually stretching out each time to get to the classic 12 furlong turf trip.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nGrade\/group racing was next as he went 12 furlongs in the G3 The Gordy Stakes,\u00a0 and he responded with an easy,\u00a0 front running triumph,\u00a0 never threatened at any point.\u00a0 A step up to G2 ensued as dixiedotco’s patient handling prevailed.\u00a0\u00a0 FRAME\u00a0 BY\u00a0 FRAME hasn’t lost since that runnerup finish in the G2 The Great Volt,\u00a0 where he got to the front but had to settle for 2nd best that day. <\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nTime to try the big boys.\u00a0 FRAME\u00a0 BY\u00a0 FRAME faced his elders for the first time in the G1 Coalminer Cup.\u00a0 The “good” surface didin’t hinder a stalking trip triumph.\u00a0 His owner\/trainer decided to go next in the G1 Coffeefields Cup for $3M,\u00a0 effectively eschewing the Breeders’ Bowl.\u00a0 The tactic paid off as\u00a0FRAME\u00a0 BY\u00a0 FRAME took over when ready for a second straight G1 victory.\u00a0 The last big race of the year in the division was the $6M\u00a0 Japan Classic.\u00a0\u00a0 FRAME\u00a0 BY\u00a0 FRAME showed his dominance with an open lengths romp against eight other G1 winners,\u00a0 capping off a superb sophomore season.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>

\n.<\/span>
\nOwner\/trainer\/breeder dixiedotco shared his thoughts about his star,\u00a0 and what the future holds for FRAME\u00a0 BY\u00a0 FRAME.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nWhat went into your breeding process for\u00a0 FRAME\u00a0 BY\u00a0 FRAME\u00a0 ?<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

“I generally like to breed some horses from scratch later in the 2yo season that I think could be effective going long on turf.\u00a0 There are always lots of options for those horses so it’s a good deal if you can get a few that can run a little.\u00a0 In the case of\u00a0 FRAME\u00a0 BY\u00a0 FRAME and a few others, I tried to find a little value in the sires.\u00a0 Heart’s Cry is a sire that has done well in his first several crops in Japan, including siring some winners of big international races.\u00a0 And obviously his pedigree is as good as it gets as far as Japanese sires go.\u00a0 As for the dam’s side, Danehill needs no explanation and was affordable at the time, and Alleged has always been affordable and underrated in the sim.\u00a0 I’ve always had a lot of luck with him.”<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nWhat was your highlight of the campaign ?<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\n“As far as season highlights, it would definitely have to be the Japan Classic.\u00a0 That is the biggest year-end race for classic turf horses and for him to not only win but demolish that field… I was shocked.\u00a0 You don’t see a horse win a premiere G1,\u00a0 $6 million race by daylight very often, especially by a horse with the upfront running style he has.\u00a0 He had won several graded races before that but not against the top horses.\u00a0 So to see him do what he did was exciting.\u00a0 I could have run him once more and gone for HOTY and he might have done it, but I felt it was more important to do what I thought was right for the long term and rest him up for next season.\u00a0 He had a pretty busy graded schedule the second half of 2015.”<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nToo right he did ,\u00a0 dixie — 3\u00a0 G1 wins,\u00a0 a G2 runnerup and a G3 win in his last five starts. <\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/span>
\nWhat does the year ahead look like for FBF ? \u00a0<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\n“He just came back from the farm and he’ll have one prep before his early 2016 target, the Sand Castle Golden Turf Classic.\u00a0 I’m curious to find out whether he can be even better this year.\u00a0 He’s still relatively lightly raced and having just turned 4, he might have even more improvement in him.”<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nMore improvement ??? His potential opponents down the road certainly hope not.\u00a0 He’s half way to the Hall Of Fame and looks to have the potential to get there. <\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Thanks dixiedotco,\u00a0 and congratulations on a splendid training job through 2015 with FRAME\u00a0 BY\u00a0 FRAME.\u00a0 Good luck in 2016 and beyond. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
