It’s family life for Frank, after racing

Jasmin Williams works for Lindsay Park as a Racing Admin and truck driver. In 2018, she adopted Mutamayel (stable name Frank), when he retired. He’s been a member of her family for six years now and is deeply loved by the Williams clan.

“Mutamayel was purchased from the 2016 Inglis Easter yearling sale by Shadwell Stud  for $900,000. He had ten starts for three wins over 1400 and1500. He travelled across the world to have three starts in Dubai and then sustained a minor tendon injury in his last win at Sandown. Lindsay Park trainers and his owner made the decision to retire Frank. Luckily for me, I was in the right place at the right time and Frank joined our family only a couple of weeks later. 

Mutamayel, or Frank The Tank as he is now affectionately known, may not have been the most exceptional horse on the track but is definitely worth his weight in gold to us.

Doctor’s orders were for him to have a good spell and be given time to let down. However he enjoyed his time out a little too much which is how he got the name Frank The Tank.

 Since becoming part of our family, Frank and I have spent four weeks with the wonderfully talented Tracey Johnson (trackwork rider from Lindsay Park) to do some initial re-education, soften and learn a little. We have since been camping and trail riding at Fryer’s Hut and around the Strathbogie area. Frank gives plenty of pony rides for the kids and enjoys lots of swimming time in Seven Creeks in Euroa, where he lives.

 We do have plans to one day get him into the show ring at the local shows but until then he is quite happy with the occasional stroll, a sand roll and swim before dinner. Frank has a home with us for life and we all just love him to bits.”
