Pretty much an assumption that Frosted entrapped in the FOY, was never confirmed. Besides procedure several changes,including jock, were made to Frosted pre-Wood and horse responded well then ok derby followed.Most notable, take back further and make a late run.
Frosted only Belmont entrant with a race over surface which was a good one, a nice edge.Nasty Belmont surface causes many horses to run down,not an easy surface. Baffert threw out a hint when talking to NYRA about hoping the surface would be like when Secretariat ran, not a chance.
