Mr Freeze

After opening his career with back-to-back wins, Mr Freeze made his stakes debut in the Iowa Derby and came up a half-length short of winner High North while running second. He subsequently started in the Grade 3 West Virginia Derby and turned in a dominant victory, powering from eight opponents for a visually impressive first stakes win. In his final start of 2018, Mr Freeze was unplaced in the Grade 1 Pennsylvania Derby.

The chestnut To Honor and Serve colt tested turf for his 4-year-old debut and ran last of seven, beaten by 33 ¾ lengths. Returned to the main track, Mr Freeze pressed the pace and finished second in an allowance-optional claiming race Aug. 11 at Ellis Park. He returned to graded stakes competition for the Grade 3 Ack Ack Stakes Sept. 28 at Churchill Downs and seized command from three wide near the top of the stretch on his way to a clear victory.

Mr Freeze became the fourth stakes winner for his dam (mother), Heavenly Cat, by Tabasco Cat. He joined graded stakes winners heavenly Ransom and Dilemma and multiple Grade 2-placed stakes winner Capitano.
