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 favorite for thousands of visitors over the years here at Jonabell.”Trained for Godolphin by Kiaran McLaughlin, Frosted's 123 Beyer Speed Figure in the 2016 Met Mile remains the highest recorded at a mile. He set a new stakes record of 1:32.73 in the race, running away with the victory by 14 1/4 lengths. Frosted also captured the GI Whitney Stakes, the GI Wood Memorial Stakes, the GII Pennsylvania Derby, and the G2 Al Maktoum Challenge Round 2. He placed in the GI Belmont Stakes, the GI Travers Stakes, and four other graded events, retiring with a record of 19-6-6-2 and earnings of $3,972,800 prior to the 2017 breeding season.With his seventh crop of 2-year-old to the races this year, Frosted has 14 career graded winners and 36 black-type winners. Among his top runners are Canadian champion 3-year-old colt Frosted Over, MGSW & MGISP Post Time–a new stallion at Northview Stallion Station in Maryland this season, and Japanese MGSW Jasper Krone.The post Darley Sire Frosted Succumbs to Laminitis appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
