You can talk all you want about woulda's shoulda's coulda's or this one has the breeding and showd more potential. The fact remains Funny Cide won the Derby, won the Preakness came in third in The Belmont. Empire finished off the board in The Derby SKIPPED the Preakness and rested up to win the Belmont. Empire Maker lost a weaker Travers Prep in the Jim Dandy and Funny Cide went on to win the JCGC a year later.

Answer = Funny Cides Woulda's Shoulda's coulda's don't win THE DERBY and the JCGC.(arguably the two most important non BC races in the US) SORRY!!!!!!!!!!

Empire Maker was second or third ( it was a nose either way to Peace Rules ) in the Derby.
