Ice Box Belmont Stakes odds were set at +480 for a payout potential of near $500 for every $100 bet or $50 for every $10 bet. He was technically the favorite though there were two other contenders vying for that status heading into Friday.
The Kentucky Derby runner-up drew perfectly in barrier six for Saturday's running of the $1 million Belmont Stakes, the final leg of the Triple Crown.
Ice Box finished an unlucky second behind Super Saver in last month's Kentucky Derby after being caught in heavy traffic then flashing home in the mud when it was all too late.
He skipped the Preakness Stakes in favor of running at Belmont.
"Ice Box is going to be tough to beat but we think with the extra distance and a little bit of experience we can turn the tables," First Dude's trainer Dale Romans said at the draw.
