The horse in the red box was Ice Box... he was 24 lengths back after a half mile and was "FLYING" late to finish 2nd despite running into lots of traffic.
Here is the rest of Ice Box's career ...
Belmont Stakes: 9th beaten 11 lengths as the 9/5 post time favorite.
Haskell Stakes: 6th beaten 7 lengths in a field of just seven.
Travers: 8th beaten 7 lengths at 7/1 odds.
Monmouth Cup: 5th beaten 7 lengths at 9/2 odds in field of 6
Allowance Race: 3rd at 7/2 odds
Woodward: 6th at 11/1 odds
Jockey Club Gold Cup: 7th and last at 10/1 odds
Breeders Cup Classic: 8th at 30/1 odds.
This example just gave me agida! I had IB at 85-1 in the Wynn futures. Lezcano couldn't follow Borel up the rail? Had to go 10 wide, stop, go 3 more wide, and then make a huge run?
