Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 2, 2024 Journalists Posted March 2, 2024 Rabbah Bloodstock's FROST AT DAWN (Frosted-Hawana, by War Front) has had the misfortune of squaring off with two of the best fillies in this jurisdiction multiple times–the undefeated pair of G3 UAE Oaks heroine Manama Gold (Star Guitar) on dirt, and Saturday's listed winner Cinderella's Dream (GB) (Shamardal). However, she finally got her chance in the spotlight trying the 1000-metre AED1,200,000 Nad Al Sheba Turf Sprint Sponsored By Emirates Skywards, and the William Knight trainee walked away with a Group 3 win over Godolphin's Star Of Mystery (GB) (Kodiac {GB}) by 2 1/2 lengths. One of the early pacesetters in this straight-course test, Frost At Dawn avoided the majority of the field while glued to the far rail. Shrugging off all challengers, she scampered home a good-looking winner, with fellow filly Star Of Mystery emerging from the field to take second. Logo Hunter (Ire) (Brazen Beau {Aus}), who was toting 12 more pounds than his sophomore challengers, was another 1 3/4 lengths back in third. Frost At Dawn is now the 26th stakes winner and ninth group/graded winner for her Darley sire. She broke her maiden at second asking in England last November, but then has failed to win versus Manama Gold in December and January, or Cinderella's Dream in February. Tried in the Dubai Trophy, a conditions race over 1200 metres on grass on Feb. 9, the grey found only Great Truth (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) too good when a head back in second. Pedigree Notes One of two winners for her dam, who has a juvenile colt by Bernardini and a yearling filly by Nyquist to come, Frost At Dawn is related to Ocean Atlantique (American Pharoah), a stakes winner in both France and the US, who was third in the GI Turf Classic S., while noted Blushing Groom (GB)-line sire and American turf champion Leroidesanimaux (Brz) (Candy Stripes) is under the third dam. Hawana was bred to Maxfield last spring. Click for the ERA chart and video. Upset!
