This Saturday we may be all over our reliable Frosted in the Whitney. This horse can be counted on to be there or near there at the end. Not crazy about the 3-5 odds though.

keep in mind his win last time was a 1 turn race, this is a 2 turn race, right?

he looked SO good last time things like that get me worried, can he duplicate that type of performance?

I can not quickly locate the article so here is the part about Frosted who was 6-5.

Frosted (6-5) – Since his amazing run on Belmont Stakes day, there have been plenty of doubters ready to call the son of Tapit a one-turn specialist, or the winner or a weak race, or finally, a horse primed to bounce off a big effort. While I know Frosted has not yet been the most consistent horse in the world, the truth of the matter is that he has run a ton of big races. Wins in the Wood Memorial and Pennsylvania Derby, both around two-turns, were big, as was his first race of the year over in Dubai. Let’s not forget about several good ones he ran in losing efforts against American Pharoah, all of which were at a distance of ground. The two-turns is not a concern to me. He did not run his best in either the Breeders’ Cup Classic or Dubai World Cup, though, which does bring into question whether he can string big races back-to-back. After having seen his performance up close in the Met Mile, a historically good performance, I do believe that he is ready to turn the corner and put all that talent together. He doesn’t need to run as well this time; 90% of the horse that ran on June 11 wins this. I like his chances. He’s The One

I just placed a trifecta bet with Frosted winning and long shots rounding out the top three finishers

The Whitney and the West Virginia Derby are televised at 5pm on Fox cable channel 291.

I'm thinking of a trifecta box with Frosted 2nd in all of them. I think it's 18 combinations. Then the rest on Frosted to win. If he finishes 3rd oh well.

4 with Frosted 2nd
243
246
342
642
(Assume = sure disappointment that 1 and 5 can not make the top three.
and
Frosted to win.
------------------------------------
What I wait to see is a race where Frosted and Exaggerator go at it in a field of 6-7-8 vs. a packed BC Classic.
