Who runs in Belmont?

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.

Zito doesn't do turf.

Lukas didn't quite get what he wanted out of Northern Giant in the Preakness. Better give him another shot in the Belmont.

Dublin is an automatic as well.

By the way - I'm LOVING all this Zito hype. Both of his horses can win, but First Dude will have a huge tactical edge on them.

Probably, what he needs is a new trainer, one who can work with his going on two years gate issues, Lukas has become clueless.

This might be a betting race than the Derby

Ice Box would be fave with everyone else in double digits



Like people said Dublin is already in Lukas gave interviews saying he is going to NY

Dublin is not running in the Belmont. Will be pointed for the Haskel.

Where did you hear that? Are you sure? That is so unlike D Wayne. He's never skipped a race in his life unless his horse is on life-support and usually that wouldn't even stop him.

Good point but it would be a shame if he just kept him on dirt
