Trained by Mike d e Kock, Frosted Gold powered clear to win the 1160 metre sprint by a length and a half taking his overall record to three wins and a second from just four starts.

Frosted Gold was a $180,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the Blandford Lodge draft for Form Bloodstock and is a half-brother to Macau stakes-winner Sunshine Mighty and stakes-placed Maryore from good producer Mary D'Or(Fr), a sibling to French Group I winners Silverware and Stormy River.

Blandford Lodge sold a colt by Tavistock from Mary D'Or for $50,000 at Karaka Book One this year.

Frosted Gold is one of seven stakes-winners for Vinery Stud's All Too Hard, who stands this spring at $27,500.
