Horse wins 2/3 of TC in '03. People happy horse will return in '04.

Horse has very good but not spectacular year in '04. Horse and owners get blasted.

After going 0-3 in '05, horse and owners keep getting blasted.

Horse wins a G3 and $225k+ in '06. Horse and owners still getting blasted.

I, personally, have never blasted this horse. Just the owners. I like the horse and I don't downgrade his spring in his 3yr old season b/c it was legit. Has he been the same horse since, no. But he hasn't been pointed to the right races so its not his fault.

i realize hes a gelding ..but lets finda spot where he can win,,this was a loaded grade 3..hes not a gr 3 horse..........

I don't know why you all feel the need to bash the connections of this horse. He obviously was beaten today because he can't handle the cold weather.

He's done enough.

You obviously do NOT know this horse by that statement.

I hope this was in "jest"...if you know anything about Funny Cide, you know he cannot run in hot and muggy weather because of a breathing condition and that cool temperatures are in his favor.

As for the rest of it, this horse has done enough for the owners. The love affair is over. Years have gone by since Funny Cide and more or equally compelling stories have come along since then (Barbaro, Afleet Alex, Smarty Jones). You can never take away Funny Cide's brillance for a few months in the spring of 2003, cementing his legend forever. For that, he deserves better than being spotted up in his 7 year old season. I hope that if he fails again soon, that Sackatoga sees this and places Funny Cide on the sideline for life to live comfortably and enjoy being a horse. It seems he no longer has the interest in being a race horse anymore. You cannot fault him for that.
