Horses like Ice Box.

I am against Revolutionary in the Belmont and figure he fits that Ice Box pattern.

They haven't done well.

However, Ice Box was an example of a horse who caught a wet track blazing fast pace in the Derby and a moderate pace in the Belmont.

I don't think the pace will be moderate this year, so Ice Box might not be the best example.
