i think they should take him to kentucky horse park, let his adoring fans go see him frolic in the sunshine.

you've made your points. move on. most people feel FC should run in a $100k stakes at FL. if you have anything new to add do so, otherwise why don't you detractors stop bashing FC with the same old tired arguments.

I don't see the issue. If he's healthy run him, he's a race horse.
Doesn't diminish what he did 4 years ago.

oh please, like the horse gives a damn what's said about him.

i've always thought funny cide should run if he's both willing and able. but is he still both? there comes a time when enough truly is enough. has he reached that point? i have no idea.
my point however was that if their intent with racing this horse is so fans can see him, that is doable by retiring him to lexington where a lot of those fans can visit him- certainly would be more accessible there than at the track.

the managing owner was up here the other day bringing boxes of posters and shirts for the first 2k people. Since opening day i think we have only succeeded 1k one time, and between the betting lines and concessions, they were not prepared. A point of interest to note. Management advised the rac. secretary to weigh Accountforgold out of the race. He assigned Accountforgold 129lbs thus making it easy for Gary Contessa to pass this race.
