    He responded well to that rest following the Florida Derby. That might be a big reason why Zito wants to wait.

    I meet old man LaPenta on Friday morning before the Oaks when Ice Box was coming off the track after his gallop. I went to shake his hand and he is over 80 years old so I went easy and he crushed my hand. Mr. Lapenta might be old but has fire of a 25 yo. If Ice Box comes out well and eats up well throughout the week don't be suprised to see him in the gate. He race was awesome to finish second with the amounts of trouble he had.

    Noticed this quote in the Bloodhorse article i just posted:

    “I’ve talked with (owner Robert) LaPenta, and he said the decision is up to me,” Zito said.
