Frosted was the only horse to mount a challenge to American Pharoah in the Grade One Belmont Stakes Presented By DraftKings, the third and final leg of the American Triple Crown, on Saturday, June 6.
The three-year-old Tapit colt closed on the leader American Pharoah turning into the straight and looked to have every chance in the 12-furlong Classic on dirt at Belmont Park, USA.
Frosted, trained by Kiaran McLaughlin and ridden by Joel Rosario, could not get to grips with the latest Triple Crown winner but held on to second by two lengths.
He was beaten five and a half lengths by the new hero of American racing who recorded 2m 26.65s to win the 147th running of the Belmont Stakes and become the first Triple Crown scorer for 37 years.
Frosted started well and raced third, fourth and then a close fifth to American Pharoah before being switched to the inner midway through the final bend, progressing to third and then second.
