Funny Cide will go in the Brooklyn

This is about as good as it gets for Funny Cide these days ...

... plug along gamely in a fake G2 ... and pick up the chump change in a 6-horse field.

Good for him though ... he's doing his best to maintain his dignity ... while getting precious little help from his human connections.

I don't know how good it was for FC. He was third on the turn when Corny put him into a prolonged full on drive. He was never a threat to the leader and managed to get a fourth place check. Considering the strength of this field, isn't that a fairly minor achievement? For me I think he deserves better than to be whipped 25 times to pick up a fourth place check.

He didnt look all that bad. He ran the best race he could. Another check is all that matter to these owners. I really do not believe they are interested in winning or doing what is best for Funny Cide.

I thought he ran ok. The time for the winner was pretty good. Funny Cide should be very competitive in that $250,000 Empire Classic.

Congratulations to the winner and
his connections.
I have to agree with most of you
that Funny Cide ran a good race.
Corny IMO took him too wide and
the extra whipping was not neccessary.
I think Mig or even Santos are the
best for him. Funny looked great and
seemed to be into it, which is a good
thing.Everyone came back safe and sound,
which makes it a good race for me.

I was actually going to bet him today but he was 5/1 with 2 min left and I couldnt at that price. Didnt matter, the day was an utter mess.

WHAT--you cant be serious. Why on earth would you even bet him at 50-1?

He did run well, but I didn't bet him. I road the chalk all day long. Made a killing. Should have taken your own advice DaHoss. Us chalk players occasionaly have our day. Getting some of that Saratoga money back. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

He has lost it. He is attacking me all over the place. He knows I am a chalk player and made a killing. Yesterday he was bashing me for all my 4-5 shots. Well today we had our day. Chalk Players Unite.

Way to go! How thrilling!
Where will you be celebrating tonight? Denny's or Waffle House?

You have continually provided us with insight that we would be hard pressed to find elsewhere. Good luck with all of your future wagers, and keep knocking 'em dead.

You get mighty worked up over a chat board. Yesterday you were bashing me for playing all 4-5 shots and today you are questioning if I play chalk. Well I got slaughtered at Saratoga and admitted it, but belmont is often good to the chalk players. There is no tourist/vacation money pounding down favorites. Favorites at belmont are favorites because of smart money.

thanks.
I made it a point to write this one down, I don't want to forget it.

Quality inside information like this is the reason I read this board.
