You Guys are Too Hard on Funny

[Danzig]

yeah, he's the '04 jcgc winner...that being two years ago. we all appreciate funny cide...we just tend to see him more realistically than his owners do. i'd rather he be a winner in races such as the one at woodbine, than him finishing up the track yesterday. he's a mulitiple gr winner, we all know that...but he's not quite that level anymore. he's still a stakes performer, he just can't perform well at the highest level. that's not being mean, it's the truth.
if the same is true for flower alley, so be it. doesn't mean he's a bad horse, just not at the top of the game.

to be honest, i questioned why nny was in there....suave, no...he won his last--and if you read his pp's, there's no reason to panic based on yesterdays performance.

any horse can and most likely will throw in a clunker now and then. witness bro derek yesterday--that's why you don't bet a huge chalky fave when he's vulnerable, and first time off a layoff, they're vulnerable!

BUT, funny cide didn't suffer an afleet alex/lung infection type thing yesterday, he's just not a gr 1 performer anymore.

it's a shame that some here tend to only read, or glean certain things from this board. most responses to funnys race was much like what i just said, keep him in smaller stakes where he can win. we all know a horse likes to win, esp those who have done so in the past.
