At the time it was made .. it was known that Zito was going to the Fla Derby with Ice Box next.

It was also highly assumed that Eskenderya would be in the Fla Derby.

Ice Box obviously ran a much better than looked race in the Fountain of Youth .. but he aiming for the KY Derby on what appeared to be the path of greatest resistance in terms of winning a Derby prep.

I used Ice Box heavily in that stupid 10K fantasy contest because his FoY race was so much better than looked and almost no one else at all was using him ... I think saying his next win would come in a Belmont N2X alw race was paying him far more respect than his naked form and future plans indicated.

Good try.
