Ice Box won't run in the Preakness
Kentucky Derby runner-up Ice Box is skipping the Preakness. Trainer Nick Zito said Wednesday it's more likely the 3-year-old colt will be pointed to the Belmont.
Ice Box finished a hard-charging second to Super Saver in Saturday's Run for the Roses. Zito said the day after the race he was concerned his horse might have trouble with the short two-week turnaround between the first and second Triple Crown races. There's a five-week layoff between the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont on June 5. Zito said he'll decide on Monday whether to send Jackson Bend to Pimlico. Jackson Bend finished 12th in the Derby. - AP
