Frank Sandatra – Ridden by Alexandra Gooding 9-year-old by Equiano, formerly trained by Peter Crate Breeder – Peter Crate Frank Sandatra did not have a distinguished racing career, running seven times without troubling the judge, but a lack of success on track has not impeded his post-racing career. “Frankie” joined Alexandra Gooding last summer and applying similar principles to Pilates, she has since been working on developing Frankie’s core strength, balance and suppleness through flat work and dressage. They have just started competing at Novice Dressage level and Alexandra says, “We are looking forward to an exciting summer of dressage, showing and maybe some jumping.”
