It was all because of Ice Box.
If someone told me a month ago that Ice Box would win the Florida Derby I would have considered myself a near cinch to win it all. I didn't even like Ice Box's chances - but in order to beat a field that huge in a contest that short - you need a live bomb somewhere.
I'll end up 2nd ... I'm guessing the guy who's going to win...
A.) probably didn't use Eskenderya like I did (<-- dumb move by me)
B.) probably didn't use St Trinians like I did (<-- smart move that didn't work)
C.) Used only Looking At Lucky and Rule instead
D.) Also had Ice Box and Crisp
