Frank Angst

Thoroughbred Times senior writer Frank Angst has covered sports for more than 20 years and has earned numerous awards for his writing, including twice receiving the best news writing honor from American Horse Publications. Besides covering races, Frank has been handicapping races, somewhat successfully, since graduating from Butler University in 1990. A Cincinnati native, the first tracks he ever attended were Turfway Park and River Downs. Frank has always done well at turf races and pace handicapping and recently has turned his focus to tracking surface biases. In 2011, Angst touted Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom as the best longshot wager. Frank lives in Lexington, KY, and will celebrate his tenth anniversary at Thoroughbred Times in February.
