Frosted

HIGHGROVE (Frosted--Bell Court, by Street Sense), who as an 'Insight' runner went off as the 2-1 second choice here, fired out of the blocks and proceeded to make every pole a winning one through the top of the lane. The filly clearly had more left in the tank and she went on to graduate by 2 1/2 lengths over fellow first-time starter Long Term Market (McKinzie). The 'Insighted' Run Wild (Gun Runner) finished fourth. The second to the races for her dam, the winner has a yearling half-brother by Loggins...

Godolphin homebred Snappy Dresser (Union Rags) remained unbeaten in three starts going 1400 meters at Tokyo Racecourse on Apr. 26, outslugging North Hill Farm's fellow U.S.-bred Rhatische (American Pharoah) by a decisive 1 1/2 lengths. A May 19 foal, Snappy Dresser graduated by 11 lengths at first asking over this course and distance back in October 2024 and most recently returned from a 13-month absence to wallop first-level allowance company by seven lengths at this venue and same trip on Feb. 21, with the Australian-based Rachel King at the controls....

Godolphin homebred and Darley stallion Frosted (Tapit--Fast Cookie, by Deputy Minister) was euthanized Wednesday, Apr. 15 after an acute episode of laminitis, according to a release from the stallion station. The fastest-ever GI Metropolitan Handicap winner was 14. He will be buried at his long-time home, Jonabell Farm near Lexington. "Our team is deeply saddened by Frosted's passing, but it was our only option given the dire circumstances," said Godolphin's Dan Pride. "Frosted was an exceptional and exciting racehorse and accomplished sire. In addition, he was also a huge fan...

At a time when Maryland's racing and breeding industry looks ahead to a new era, with the redevelopment of historic Pimlico Race Course officially underway, it seems only fitting that one of the most successful Maryland-breds in recent years would return to his home state to enter stud. Multiple graded stakes-winning millionaire Post Time (Frosted) retired this past December and joins the stallion roster at Northview Stallion Station in Chesapeake City, Md. For his debut season at stud this year, Post Time will stand for an introductory fee of $4,000...

Having dealt with the rookies as a case apart, and then sought a couple of bargains at the base of the pyramid, today we move into a category that remains within the reach of many hands-on breeders--from $10,000 to $19,999--while also containing sires that can raise the bar a good deal higher. On the one hand, it includes a number of young horses still to be given adequate (if any) opportunity to show what they can do, yet already finding their books and fees eroded by still newer names. But...

Popular Maryland-bred and MGSW & MGISP Post Time (Frosted--Vielsalm, by Fairbanks) will stand his first season at Northview Stallion Station in Chesapeake City, MD., in 2026 for $4,000 live foal, payable when the foal stands and nurses. An earner of nearly $1.5 million and a stakes winner every year from seasons two to five, Post Time was campaigned by Hillwood Stable LLC (Ellen Charles) and trained by Brittany Russell. He was bred by Dr. and Mrs. Thomas Bowman, Dr. Brooke Bowman and Milton P. Higgins III. "Post Time is a...

Multiple Grade I-winner Locked (Gun Runner) looms the big favorite in the scratch-decimated GII Woodward Stakes on Saturday at the Belmont Big A meet, but is far from the only marquee name this upcoming weekend across the country. One of three confirmed runners for Saturday's co-feature in New York, Locked comes into the race with a two-race skid to break after he missed the board May 2 in the GII Alysheba Stakes when returning to the races after a tour de force effort in the GI Santa Anita Handicap Mar....

Meringue (Frosted) proved her talents could be applied to the turf and dirt as she successfully picked up her first stakes win in the Kentucky Downs Juvenile Fillies Stakes. The grey debuted June 19 at Churchill Downs, where she closed from eighth in that five-panel baby dash to win at first-asking on the grass by a neck. From there, her connections moved her to the main track for a tilt at the GIII Adirondack Stakes at Saratoga, and she ran headlong into Florida-bred titan Mythical (St Patrick's Day), who dominated...

With five fillies in the 70th running of the Woodbine Oaks, chances were high that it would be a Mark Casse runner to beat them all. The hard part, or so it was thought, would be figuring out which one would step up to win it. No Time (Not This Time) did just that in fine style to take home the hardware carrying the colors of Gary Barber. With only two prior lifetime wins--her maiden score on the grass last September and two back June 1 over the synthetic track...

Appearing to lose all chance after a super-awkward start from the inside post, Meringue (Frosted) slowly reeled in her rivals over the course of Churchill's five-furlong turf test and was up just in time to earn 'TDN Rising Star' honors Thursday afternoon. Breaking from post 1, the grey was eased to the back of the field as 3-2 favorite Delightful Darling (Flameaway) went to the front, cutting out an opening quarter of :22.19 as Vibora (Hootenanny) pressed the issue in a close-up second. With those two fillies turned for home...

Al Pike is set to retire from his position as director of sales and the conditioner for 2-year-olds in-training at Highland Training Center, and will be replaced by Colin Brennan after the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic sale in May ends, the center announced via press release. While Pike will be retiring to Lexington, Kentucky with Brennan making the move to Texas, Pike will continue to work with Highlander in a consulting and advisory role. The retiring director and training began his career with horses in 1978 but eventually transitioned to a fruitful...

Purchased privately by Wathnan Racing and transferred to Brad Cox following a sharp maiden win at second asking at Gulfstream Park Jan. 4, Flood Zone (Frosted) posted a 17-1 upset for his new connections in Saturday's GIII Gotham S. going a one-turn mile at the Big A. Sent to the front by Reylu Gutierrez, the blinkered bay was content to slot back into a three-wide and pressing third through an opening quarter in :23.86. He hooked up with unbeaten New York-bred and favored 'TDN Rising Star' Sand Devil (Violence) on...
