If anything Funny Cide is underrated. He deserves as much respect as people are willing to give him. Not only did he run a great Derby and Preakness but his Wood and Belmont were good races. He actually was a very fast horse who put up some great times. He had a workout that was probably too quick for the Belmont, although I don't think he would have won. If anything Empire Maker is the overrated one. He didn't get it done in the two big ones, the derby and travers.

For me the most overrated/overhyped horse was Saarland. At 3,4, and 5 he won nothing but allowance races. Not one stake. He was an Unbridled on top and Versailles Treaty on bottom (monster filly that won 4 grade 1's) and he never won anything except the remsen at 2 and allowance races.
