Still sticking with Ice Box. Look at his second win; he was never more than 1 3/4 lengths off the lead, so I don't think he has to be a "downtown closer." Actually, looking at the comments on his last two, I don't think they really wanted him to be that far back. Plus he spent the winter at Gulfstream. Even if he never RAN in the mud, he sure had to TRAIN in it plenty! He's not been over-raced (unlike Lookin At Lucky), and seems to be a horse on the improve. I just hope he goes off at long enough odds to make my $5 win/$20 show worthwhile. If not, I'll probably wheel him top and bottom in the exacta for a buck and hope me matches up with some long shot.
