Pretty sure Frosted had the throat procedure between the Fountain of Youth and Wood Memorial.
So since the surgery he's won the Wood in nice fashion and finished a fast closing fourth in the Kentucky Derby. He was having a little trouble with Upstart in Florida, but that was pre surgery and if Upstart is sound he's gonna prove how good a horse he is. Just wish they'd run that Derby again.
