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.

We all get horses wrong from time to time. Coming back and redboarding that you use the horse in a dumb online contest doesn't do anything. The horse ran about a 0 on the sheets, I would say you got the horse wrong. I wouldn't come back and say "he did just what I expected."....I'm sure they will be writing a NX3 for him at Belmont after the Derby.

I posted before the fact in the DD thread that Ice Box was used in just 39 stables out of about one thousand - and I used him in 4 of my 8. That's totally besides the point and doesn't matter.

What matters is that a horse won the Fla Derby with a perfect trip and ran only a 99 Beyer ... Devil May Care was faster in victory same day and distance.
