Answer Lively (1996–2003) was an American Champion Thoroughbred racehorse owned and bred by John Franks, a Louisiana oilman and winner of a record four Eclipse Awards for Outstanding Owner.
Trained by Bobby Barnett, at age two Answer Lively made seven starts, winning four and finishing second once.
After an eight-month layoff, in June 2000 his owner announced the colt was being retired from racing due to a hairline fracture to a sesamoid in his left front leg.
However, fertility problems led to Answer Lively being treated at John Franks Southland Division near Ocala, Florida.
In October 2003, Answer Lively's owner announced that the seven-year-old horse had died of a heart attack nearly six months earlier on April 28, 2003 and was buried at Twin Oaks.
