I saw an interview with McLaughlin pre race and have rarely seen him so confident. Frosted had been training at a facility called GTC, still do not know where that is, but it's likely a training center.

I'm not sure Frosted broke properly. I refuse to rewatch the race, because its all moot now, but he certainly had the chance to engage. The fact that he did not remains a puzzlement.

The Travers was the model. When you depart from the model against a quality horse like that, the consequences are foreseeable.
