Frostmourne has sights set on Hill Prince Stakes

ELMONT, N.Y. – Frostmourne, who has not run since a visually impressive performance in winning the Kent Stakes at Delaware Park on July 9, is targeting the Grade 3, $500,000 Hill Prince at Belmont on Oct. 7, trainer Christophe Clement said.

Frostmourne was being considered for the Grade 1 Secretariat at Arlington on Aug. 12, but Clement did not like the way the horse was training. Frostmourne has not worked since July 30 but is expected to breeze over the Belmont turf this weekend, Clement said.

“It’s complicated enough to win big races when they’re doing well,” Clement said. “It’s impossible when they’re not doing well.”

◗ Far From Over, the Grade 3 Withers winner in 2015, will try again to jump-start his career when he faces five rivals in Saturday’s $100,000 Seattle Slew Stakes.

Far From Over has not won since taking a second-level allowance going 1 1/16 miles at Belmont in June 2016. Most recently, he finished second, nine lengths behind Tom’s d’Etat, in an allowance race at Saratoga.

Others entered in the Seattle Slew, at 1 1/8 miles, are Backsideofthemoon, Doyouknowsomething, Conquest Windycity, Securitiz, and Royal Posse.
