Frosted is all alone at the finish of the Met Mile.
In his first U.S. start since opening the season in Dubai, Frosted delivered a dominating performance in the $1.25 million Mohegan Sun Metropolitan Handicap (gr. I) June 11 at Belmont Park.
Guided to the three path for running room off the far turn by jockey Joel Rosario, Godolphin Stable's Frosted seized the lead and only built on that advantage through the stretch to post a 14 1/4-length victory, completing the one-mile test in 1:32.73 on a fast track.
Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin swept the day's two biggest main track races for older runners as he sent out Frosted, by Tapit , in the Met Mile and Cavorting in the $1 million Ogden Phipps Stakes (gr. I).
Frosted, sent off at 2-1, was followed home by Anchor Down and Upstart.
