He was really high on this horse, I think he called him a future star.

I love you andy but I fail to see how a talk about a trip in August has any bearing on betting the horse in the FLA Derby at 20-1. In fact none...The good call was made by hooves who pointed out the middle move die out on a speed favoring track....To me the trip or trap is good for about the next betting race and that's it.

I think Ice Box is more of a product of the worst Florida Derby group in how many years? If the big horse was in there, Zayat actually runs him, he wins for fun and Ice Box clunks for second and no one is talking about him.

I never claimed to have made any brilliant declarations about Ice Box....just that I mentioned him.

I am a bit embarrassed about the major predictions from that race.....I've Got the Fever didn't turn out to be much and that doesn't make up for the two other horses pointed out that won their next starts at 7:2 and 10:1. And forget about how many times I said the race was better than the Beyer figure ( it was eventually raised 9 points ) and predicted it would be a very productive race ( I guess Ice Box is superfluous to that as well ).

I don't blow my own horn.....but I will if you like.

I thought the same thing. I must have been standing.....and he must have been kneeling. He's like a foot taller than me.

This is the first time I've seen his debut; I had no idea he broke that badly. He did show a terrific turn of foot after that break - a very forward-thinking Trips and Taps because he is awfully talented. I'm going to try and go to Belmont for the Withers.
