I've been itching for the last week to post my short list for this year's Preakness but it's hard to short list any horses when only a handful have actually confirmed for the second leg of the triple crown. Watching the way Ice Box ran the Derby, I was really looking forward to seeing him run in the Preakness and probably would have listed him as my favorite. Unfortunately, trainer Nick Zito announced Ice Box would not be running in the Preakness and would be resting for the Belmont. It wasn't a total surprise move since this horse seems to do better on longer rest, but what a rematch it would been.
