Then I will take my chances with it. Ice Box has a style that just doesn't win many races while his claim to fame was winning a a watered down Florida Derby over Pleasant Prince.

i agree, ice boxes running style wins way less races(including the belmont) than say, super savers. he kind of reminds me of mine that bird....its all go to fall into place or hes just a board hitting horse. i love how people still believe the myth that hes going to close better because its a a mile and a half.........i've been hearing that one since brians time in 1988 and he got second. the only years these horses win is if theres a contested pace, which is not a given. his chances of winning the belmont go up if super saver wins again because then there will be a full court press on the lead. this is what did smarty jones and big brown in.
