McLaughlin in familiar spot for Belmont

The last time the Belmont Stakes was held without the Kentucky Derby winner and the Preakness winner in the field was 2006, and trainer Kiaran McLaughlin won the race with Jazil.

I like how Privman summed up Icebox's trip in the Derby:

"At Churchill Downs, Ice Box breezed a half-mile in 46.40 seconds eight days before the Derby. He then turned in a terrific effort, rallying to finish second while encountering more trouble than British Petroleum has gotten into lately."

Good one. :D
