If I was a jock on Funny Cide going against this level I would just pull him up after he starts to falter. Its not fair to do this to an animal that is bred and trained to run past or ahead of other horses. He actually might put an amount of effort that is too much for him, and then he wont stay sound. I love this horse and would love to read about or see him run at a lower level.
