Bio
Keen Ice broke his maiden in his second start and earned his first on-the-board place in a graded stakes race two starts later when he finished third in the Remsen Stakes. As a 3-year-old, Keen Ice finished third in the Risen Star and fourth in the Louisiana Derby before a troubled seventh-place finish in the Kentucky Derby.
The improving colt secured a classic placing when he finished powerfully for third in the Belmont Stakes behind Triple Crown winner American Pharoah and runner-up Frosted.

As a 3-year-old, Keen Ice finished third in the Risen Star and fourth in the Louisiana Derby before a troubled seventh-place finish in the Kentucky Derby.
The improving colt secured a classic placing when he finished powerfully for third in the Belmont Stakes behind Triple Crown winner American Pharoah and runner-up Frosted.
After finishing second to American Pharoah in the William Hill Haskell Invitational Stakes, Keen Ice got the better of that rival in the stretch of the Travers Stakes. He surged past American Pharoah late to earn his first career stakes victory and the winner's share of the $1.6-million purse.
Keen Ice closed out his 3-year-old season with consecutive fourth-place finishes in the $5-million Breeders' Cup Classic and the Grade 1 Clark Handicap.
The Grade 1 Donn Handicap in February at Gulfstream park maked the return of Keen Ice for his 4-year-old debut. He finished sixth as the favorite before shipping to Dubai, where he ran seventh in his final prep race for the $10-million Dubai World Cup. He returned in the fall with a third-place finsih in an allowance race that set him up for the Breeders' Cup, where he turned in a late-closing third-place finish in the $6 million Breeders' Cup Classic behind winner Arrogate and runner-up California Chrome.
Keen Ice was unplaced in the $12 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes and the $10 million Dubai WOrld Cup before regaining his winning form by overhauling Shaman Ghost late to win the Grade 2 Suburban Handicap on July 8. Keen Ice next finished second in the Grade 1 Whitney Stakes before again running second in the Jockey Club Gold Cup in his final prep race for the 2017 Breeders' Cup Classic.
Keen Ice is by two-time Horse of the Year Curlin and out of Medomak, a half-sister to Grade 3 winner Coal Play. Keen Ice is also from the family of Hungry Island, Somali Lemonade and Verrazano.
