Italian Ice grew into a champion at both GHF and TW, but the one track Icee loved most of all was the Wire. To start, as a juvenile Icee conducted the majority of her campaign at GHF. However, whenever Icee ran on the tracks here, she won. In fact, all five of the starts Icee made at TW as a juvenile resulted in wins, indicating early on her preference for this track and her ability to leave a lasting impression here.

Leave a lasting impression she did. Italian Ice became the Wire's first Canadian Triple Crown winner after placing second in the Belmont Turf Classic and switching her campaign to here. She proved herself to be indomitable in those attempts. What other thing can a potential Wire Legend do than set the example by becoming a Triple Series winner here, for the Wire's own unique three year old classic series? Though Icee still raced the majority of the time as a three year old at GHF, she left an impression here that no person could forget.

During her final season, Italian Ice raced solely at The Wire. Her only starts off this track resulted in her worst finishes for the season. If it hadn't been clear before, Icee certainly demonstrated her ability as a four year old. She won every race she possibly could, including a second Wire Finish Cup race, a Dawn Treader Cup and one race in the Risorgimento Series. She capped off the season with a win in the Breeders Cup Distaff over her favorite track.

Icee won the most premier races at The Wire. She did things that should make her be considered as a Legend, at the least a Champion. Thank you for your consideration!

*is holding breath* Could I have another two or three votes? XD

I said champion and that's because legend is a Title that can't be thrown around lightly. Ice wa good don't get me wrong and she thrived but she didn't REDFINE the game here.

OK - what's the call here?

Yes, but the member votes were in favor of Legend at the time. And now they're completely dead even so...

I have no idea what to do in this case to be honest. I don't really understand the concept of legends and champions xD. I'm not sure what makes a legend. Icee would be good enough to be in the GHF Hall of Fame, but somehow she isn't good enough for this single track? I just don't know. my vote for legend still stands because the system is kind of confusing xD.

If the Canadian Triple Crown winner (which is the Wire's key series) can't get in to the legend system than who will? This goes for Anodyne too, Cavvy xD.
