With the final leg of the Triple Crown upon us, the horse racing community is preparing for the Nick Zito show this Saturday. Ice Box, the runner up in the Kentucky Derby, and Fly Down, winner of this year's Dwyer Stakes posted 6 and 5 respectively. They couldn't have posted much better although I doubt that matters much since both are strong closers. Even though Belmont has been known to decimate the best of horses, Fly Down has already proven he can handle it and we know Ice Box is a strong closer and will handle the distance so these two horses are hard to bet against.
