Frosted has a second Australian Stakes winner and lands Listed quinella in Adelaide

Cloudy defeats Translation in Dequettville Stakes at Morphettville

The brilliance of Frosted’s first Australian crop received further endorsement when Cloudy scored her second win - and defeated another by her sire - in the Listed Dequettville Stakes at Morphettville.

Cloudy’s last-stride lunge made her Frosted’s fifth winner in Australia and his fourth Stakes winner worldwide.

Frosted’s presence on the local scene was announced in the spring when Ingratiating became his first Stakes winner, taking out the Listed Maribyrnong Trial at Flemington in October.

He has since taken his total of individual winners to 31 while in Australia he has now had five winners, two of them at Stakes level with only one of his first nine to the races having so far missed a place.

Cloudy had won a Bendigo maiden at her fourth start and was having her sixth outing in the Dequettville.

The filly travelled smoothly one off the fence in third place behind the front-running Translation for most of the race and responded strongly when called on by jockey Todd Pannell.

In a stirring finish she did best to deny her stablemate, who is also by Frosted and also races in the Godolphin blue.

Frosted will begin his fifth season at Darley’s Northwood Park stud in Victoria on 2021.
