Frieze's dam Cornice was a moderate racehorse who produced several other winners including Tudor Period (White Rose Stakes).
[3] In April 1952 Frieze began her second campaign by recording her fourth consecutive victory in a minor race at Stockton Racecourse.
[5] At Epsom Racecourse on 30 of May Frieze, ridden by the Australian jockey Edgar Britt, started at odds of just over 14/1 for the 174th running of the Oaks Stakes.
[7] In July at Stockton Frieze won again without having to run as her opponents were withdrawn from the contest and she was allowed to walk over the course to claim the prize.
[3] In August the filly started 5/4 favourite[8] for the Yorkshire Oaks at York Racecourse and, with Britt again in the saddle, won from Pharamis and Rose of Afghanistan.
