Robert LaPenta's Ice Box (c, 3, Pulpit) drew post position six and was made the 3-1 favorite on oddsmaker Eric Donovan's morning line for Saturday's GI Belmont S. on Long Island. A fast-finishing second to Super Saver (Maria's Mon) in the GI Kentucky Derby May 1, he will be ridden again by Jose Lezcano. GI Preakness S. runner-up First Dude (c, 3, Stephen Got Even) will attempt to employ front-running tactics, and will do so from a high draw in 11. A long run to the first turn will be no incovenience to the Don Dizney homebred, the 7-2 second choice on the morning line. Click here
