Oh yea!!! Thanks for the news!!!

I wonder if I'll match the amount I lost on him in the Derby or surpass it.

I dont see how Ice Box loses in this race. Zito first and second

My guess is that Noble's Promise will be entered, take money, and be destroyed.

I would not discount First Dude ala Da Tara to take a stab on the front end.... The Dude is game... Ice Box seems the logical choice at this point...

noble's promise is supposed to go over seas, running in a group one race on the turf. they know he's not a classic distance horse.

Ice Box won't get the right set up. He looks good visually for 12 f because of his closing style, but his ability to close could also be flattened out by the distance.

Its not like the prospective field that will be running against will be anything stellar either. The win relies on when Lezcano pushes the button for Ice Box to go. He had 5 weeks rest and should be sitting on a big performance. I just hope they try him on Turf in his subsequent starts. I feel he could be a monster turf horse than a dirt horse in his career.

I don't see him winning it based on his running style.

The race is still 3 weeks out though.

I think he has a chance but he's far from a lock. In the Derby, there was a really fast pace and everyone was stopping. He won't get nearly as good of a set-up in the Belmont.

On the one hand, you would think that he would have no problem with the extra distance. On the other hand, it's pretty tough to run 1 1/2 miles on your left lead. He didn't switch coming down the lane in either one of his last two races. I would certainly consider that a negative.

I am actually a really big fan of Setsuko in the Belmont, looking forward to seeing how he is training into this race if he goes

Second this one. I don't think he's far from Ice Box and will be a much better price.

I third the notion
