Can a trip to Great Lakes Downs be far behind?

Yeah, Finger Lakes raised the purse of the Wadsworth from $50K to $100K to attract Funny Cide.

Should be quite a bottleneck on the Thruway.

If it wasn't a Wednesday I'd make a weekend trip out of it. Hit up some wineries and Letchworth and see the legendary Finger Lakes Race Track.

All those glorious trips to Rochester to see the Grateful Dead and I never made it to Finger Lakes. If Jerry Garcia hadn't died I might never have gotten my life in order.

Don't bother. Get drunk at the wineries instead.

I have a few bottles of stale vinegar that taste like most NY wines if you want to take them off my hands?

Such a great climate and earth for grapes yet I have yet to see a vineyard in NY produce a good wine. Its too bad.

Letchworth is beautiful.

I love Letchworth! Those guest books dating back to the 1950's on the third floor of the hotel are a hoot.

It's $100K so I imagine there will be other shippers as well, probably most of the same horses he has been running against. As long as Accountforthegold doesn't go he should be alright.

Funny Cide is perfectly healthy and earns money in virtually every start. Earned $3.5 million so far I believe.
It's great they still race him.
People are constantly complaining that horses are retiring after their 3 year old season----Hard Spun and Street Sense are next-----so why do people complain that a perfectly healthy horse who is earning money is still racing?Horse racing needs more horses like Funny Cide----

Agreed...I also love the fact that he still gets bet everytime he runs. That's better for those of us that realize he can't win.

local "freakshow" Johnny By Night will be the horse Funny Cide will have to catch. He loves the track up here. I think he averages in the high 90's
