Thumbs down to Nicky

He was asked about Ice Box. He responded about Ice Box. He also said he was happy with Fly Down who he said "ran great".

End of story.

That's it, then. I thought going into the race that Fly Down was the better horse - I guess that's the truth. However, 2:31 and change? Of course, he'll never have to run the distance again.

I think the only certainty is that Fly Down is about a 1/2 length better than First Dude.

No, I still think Fly Down is better than Ice Box......not Drosselmeyer at this time maybe, but I think he's a very talented horse.
