The colt was inspected and later accepted for the Fasig-Tipton September Select Yearling Showcase Sale. Top performers include Distorted Humor (graded stakes winner and leading North American sire), Never Retreat (GI winner in the US and Canadian Champion), Bannock (stakes winner and Group stakes placed in Europe) and Moulin Lady (stakes winner in Australia). Her immediate female family has enjoyed success at the highest levels all across the globe. When she was offered as a broodmare several years later at Keeneland November, she commanded a final bid of $200,000. She was purchased as a yearling at the prestigious Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Select Sale for $210,000. Sallyport is a young mare whose sales history is certainly suggestive of an outstanding physical specimen. Frosted’s sire, Tapit, is fast establishing himself as a sire of sires. He was also anything but a “one race wonder” as he earned more than $3.9 million and won the Belmont-GI, Wood Memorial-GI, Whitney-GI, Jim Dandy-GII and Holy Bull-GII. Some of the greatest racehorses in history (Native Dancer, Kelso, In Reality, Forego, Holy Bull and Ghostzapper) have won the Met Mile, but none were as fast as Frosted. He completed the mile in 1:32.3 and won by a stakes record 14.25 lengths. He has a long reach with his hind legs and plants and drives well with each stride.įrosted holds the record for the fastest Metropolitan Handicap-GI. Whether walking in shed row or training on the track, it is very easy to get a sense of his athleticism. They tend to do their best running over two turns and it is typically not easy to carry bulky muscle over 9 or 10 furlongs. For the most part, Tapit’s progeny aren’t heavily muscled or “quarter-horsey” types. He stands over a lot of grand and has the type of strength in his forearms, gaskins and hip that should allow him to excel at distances beyond a mile. The colt has plenty of size with a great deal of leg underneath him. With his strawberry roan coat and lean physique, this colt looks like he could be a son of Tapit, not a grandson. We hope it will be a partnership as successful as we had with Nineteenth Street, our stakes placed filly and winner of six races and more than $220,000. We are very happy to be racing him in partnership with Somewhere Stables LLC.
Pocket Aces Racing LLC is very excited to announce the newest member of our stable, a yearling colt by Frosted out of Sallyport, by Flower Alley.
