[13] Frosted started his three-year-old campaign on January 24 in the Holy Bull Stakes at Gulfstream Park.

[14] For his next start in the Fountain of Youth Stakes, Frosted pressed the pace and took a clear lead rounding the turn.

Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin had a minor surgical procedure performed on Frosted's throat, added blinkers and changed jockeys to Joel Rosario.

[16] Frosted was entered in the Wood Memorial on April 4 at Aqueduct, the same track at which he had broken his maiden back in October.

Only four horses went to the post as there were two defections to the Haskell Invitational, which had an increased purse due to the presence of American Pharoah.

Coming into the stretch, Texas Red, winner of the 2014 Breeders' Cup Juvenile, kicked clear of the field.

[20] In the Travers Stakes, Frosted pressed American Pharoah hard, especially from after the first half-mile, when the pace quickened significantly.

The unexpected tactics of Lezcano may have been decisive as neither horse had enough energy left after a fast opening mile to withstand the charge of Keen Ice down the stretch.

Frosted took up his normal stalking position several lengths behind American Pharoah, then started to make his move on the turn.

California Chrome, the 2014 American Horse of the Year, tracked the pace on the outside for about a mile before drawing clear to win in convincing fashion.

[31] Frosted stalked the pace, then made a four-wide move around the turn and burst clear of the field, drawing off to win by 14+1⁄4 lengths while geared down.

[32] The winning margin is believed to be the largest in the 132-year history of the race, and Frosted's time of 1:32.73 was a new stakes record.

He started his move on the far turn, but was fanned extremely wide, losing a considerable amount of ground compared to horses running on the rail.

Under a hand ride from Rosario, Frosted hit the lead in mid-stretch, only to have Shaman Ghost and Mubtahiij close ground rapidly in the final furlong.

"[36][37] Rosario was criticized for not riding harder, although McLaughlin defended him by pointing out the horse's longstanding aversion to the whip.

[46] It was announced Spring 2017 that Frosted would shuttle to Darley's stallion operation in Australia for the southern hemisphere breeding season.

[47] Frosted's first reported foal was a filly out of mare Snow Top Mountain born January 15 in Virginia.

[48] The first North American winner for Frosted was also a filly, a bay named Inject, who won on debut at Ellis Park in August 2020.

Tapit's other notable offspring include champions Stardom Bound, Hansel and Untapable, and 2014 Belmont Stakes winner Tonalist.
