Steve's new cover article re: Funny Cide

[whodey17]

I think giving the nickname "The Gutsy Gelding" to Funny Cide is the most ridiculous thing ever. What in the word did he ever do to resemble any type of guts!!! Sure he won the Derby and Preakness but so has many other horses. We don't her people referring to Real Quiet as the "Gutsy Fish" or War Emblem as the "Gutsy Colt." Just absurd to give this horse a nickname like that. I would prefer something like the Fabulous Funny Cide or the "Wonderful Gelding."

seems all geldings who make a huge name, stick around for a while, get labelled a gutsy gelding. dammed alliteration. perfect drift gets called the same thing.
