  • mjtags11 · That is sad. He has some talent, just never could show it. Then again, he is getting old and does not have a lot of time to release his talent. Hopefully he has a great retirement. · 33 days ago ·

Does anyone know if Ice Box will retire or not? I know he was supposed to but so far no news. Hope he stays active, has some talent, love this horse. Had an impressive run (compared to other races of his) in the BCC.
“He had a chip taken out of a knee,” Zito said. “We gave him a lot of time. He’s doing good right now. He’s doing super.”

  • rdv245 · Hey Icy it wasn't too long ago when you declared Stay Thirsty the best 3 year old in the land. What happened maybe Stay Thirsty got stung in the package by a big hornet and didn't feel quite like the best best 3 year old in the land. Now don't take offense Icy. We never know how things will turn out when horses are involved. · 89 days ago ·

  • mjtags11 · In one way I congratulate Mike Smith and Drosselmayer, but on the other hand, I wonder why the stewards did not call interference on him for moving in front of Ice Box. Well, 6-1 (KD, Preak, Bel, Hask, Trav, and JCGC) on stakes races is good for my first year of handicapping. Can't wait till next year. · 94 days ago ·

  • MichaelPavelick · 2 1/2 lengths difference between 2nd place and 8th place. He really wasn't that far out of the money. His odds (30-10 were NO where near what would have justified a wager on him. I thought he would be around a 100-1 · 94 days ago ·

why is ice box going to the classic? He has been terrible this year. He had two good races LAST year and has been awful ever since.

  • MichaelPavelick · Mary, I log in with my Facebook account. It then keeps me logged in. Its possible the Saratoga main track and training track was/are slow. But I now understand your point with the six furlong time. Only time will tell if Zito trains Ice Box at Churchill. · 101 days ago ·

  • icyhotboo · @DeadHeat Anything can and does happen in races, how it plays out on paper is usually not the way it's run. I personally use a multiple betting stategy to at least break even on a race I have a large investment in. Of course there are exceptions to all the rules. · 101 days ago ·

  • MichaelPavelick · The title of this article includes Ice Box, but they don't mention him in the article. If I Ice box trains soon at Churchill Downs and gets positive remarks from the drf.com clocker, he could be a trilpe digit odds threat to steal the Classic. · 102 days ago ·

  • jasen.mangrum · Super excited to see Flat Out & Scooter Dickey win the Jockey Club Gold Cup. Scooter used to run horses at The Woodlands back in the day, so its nice to see all that hard work pay off. Hopefully he'll get rewarded more at the Breeders' Cup in a few weeks. · 129 days ago ·

Not sure why Zito insists on racing Ice Box with the top horses. Ice Box,I think has seen his better days.

  • DeadHeat · I will be honest, I did not know Rule was in this race until the entries came out. Now that I know he is one that scares me. He is in good form and when he is in form he can be very very tough to beat. This is one horse that is tough and gritty that you will probably have to roll by on his outside to past, instead of outgutting him. · 158 days ago ·

  • GoTexas · Well, I don't bet on the horses but do have a list of favorites. I like HDG just because she's the only girl in the race and that's pretty gutsy to run with the boys. Yup...I too remember Rachel's amazing performance in the Woodward and actually her whole career. Did and still do love that lady. Good luck to all the runners! · 158 days ago ·
