The final leg of horse racing's Triple Crown is set for Saturday, June 5 at the 1.5-mile track at Belmont Park, and Zito has a couple of contenders in the 12-horse field.
With Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver and Preakness champion Lookin at Lucky out of the field, Zito's Ice Box was installed as the 3-1 morning-line favorite to win the Belmont.
Ice box finished second at the Derby, and Zito's other entrant is Fly Down, the third favorite at 9-2. Fly Down, who ran away with the victory at the Dwyer in May, will start from the No. 5 post, while Ice Box will be right next door at No. 6.
Here is the complete field and morning-line odds for the 2010 Belmont Stakes:
