Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 4, 2018 Journalists Share Posted August 4, 2018 MR FREEZE (c, 3, To Honor and Serve–Heavenly Cat, by Tabasco Cat), a half-length from being unbeaten heading into Saturday’s GIII West Virginia Derby, left it as a clearly threatening 3-year-old for the rest of the summer and fall with a tour de force victory on the front end. Victorious on debut Apr. 20 at Keeneland, the chestnut doubled up with a last-to-first score June 2 at Churchill and was a narrow second in the Iowa Derby last out July 6 at Prairie Meadows. Drifting up to 33-5 by post in this spot, the chestnut took control from the outset and bounded along through splits of :24.02 and :47.88. Shaking loose into the stretch, he never gave any late-runners a chance and spurted clear into the final furlong en route to an impressive seven-length romp. Mr Freeze is the first graded stakes winner for his sire. Draft Pick (Candy Ride {Arg}) won a photo for second money. Sales History: $75,000 Ylg ’16 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 4-3-1-0, $429,900.
