I don't know what you mean by "getting over," but if you mean getting to the rail, yes, that will be near impossible. But he doesn't need to do that. He's got enough speed to get a decent position into the turn while sitting just off the lead, and like I said, that was his best shot to win anyway.

And what if Ice Box breaks inward? Assuming that LaL even gets out of the gate cleanly is assuming that nobody in the first five posts or so breaks inward.

Precisely.
