Frosted (foaled April 18, 2012 in Kentucky) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse. In 2016, he set a stakes record while winning the Metropolitan Handicap in a "dazzling performance" and followed up with a win in the Whitney Handicap. Prior to that, despite winning several stakes races, he was best known for finishing behind American Pharoah four times, including a runner-up performance in the 2015 Belmont Stakes.

Frosted is a gray colt, a color he inherited from leading sire Tapit, whose other offspring include the 2014 Belmont Stakes winner Tonalist and 2016 Belmont Stakes winner Creator. Frosted's dam, Fast Cookie, was a graded stakes winner in 2003 for Stonerside Farm and was acquired by Darley when it purchased Stonerside in 2008. Fast Cookie produced three winners from her first three foals to race (Macaroon and With Sugar On Top being the others), with Frosted being her first stakes winner.

Darley is a global breeding operation owned by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Emir of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates; Godolphin is the associated racing stable. In the period from 1995 to 2015, Godolphin was crowned Champion British Owner on ten occasions. In the United States, Goldolphin earned the Outstanding Owner in 2009 and 2012, while Darley earned the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Breeder in 2012. Sheikh Mohammed was also honored with a special Eclipse Award in 2002, "In recognition of his extraordinary contributions and accomplishments in both racing and philanthropy." Sheikh Mohammed created the Dubai World Cup, the world's richest horse race, in 1996 to promote international racing and celebrate the roots of the Thoroughbred breed in Arabia.
