I've only glanced through the race but he seems about 7th or 8th best with a cursory look.

Honestly, unless he freaks on polytrack, he has very little chance.

I was very tired of hearing all the BS about Funny Cide, and people claiming he was much better than he was, but now I find myself rooting for him. The poor horse is always in seemingly over his head, and if you look at his pps for last year he performed consistantly well throughout the year. I just wish he was spotted better.

I've looked at the Funny Cide race and it looks like a pretty weak field. The average beyer seems to be in the high 90s range. FC has been running 93s and 94s, so he definitely belongs here. I predict FC might run 3rd. He won't be far off if he loses.

Weak field? We must have different pps for tomorrow's 8th at Keeneland. That field is stronger overall than more than a few Graded Stakes I have seen recently, and while Funny Cide is capable of being competitive, that spot is as tough an allowance race as Tagg could have found anywhere for Funny Cide's 7YO debut. Irene's Mon was second by a neck in a Grade 3 to It's No Joke two back before running fifth to Premium Tap in the Grade 1 Clark. Throng had a 101 Beyer in his last dirt race. Rather ran three Beyers in the mid to high 90s before flopping, at 9:2, against Invasor. Spellbinder won a Grade 3 three races back. Student Council was arguably best in The Razorback when second to Magna Graduate in his last race. Better than Bonds was recently placed first when beaten a neck by Hesanoldsalt who was second to Invasor in the Grade 1 Donn in his next start. Angliana placed in a Grade 3 two back and Gin and Sin has been competitive in Graded turf stakes in his last two races.

I wish him the best but this is FAR from a weak field or easy spot.
