I don't know if I would call a $100,000 stakes race "the back door."
It certainly isn't a G1 at Saratoga, but there are a lot of worse ways to finish than winning a six-figure stakes race. I don't care where they run it.

His mortal flesh can be found cuddling up with Morty at about this time on a Friday night.

And don't think I'm not jealous of him for being the apple of Mortimer's eye.

why is it that i rarely understand any posts here that contain the word 'morty' in it?

i should go now. i just heard a siren in the distance, and at 3 AM, it could only mean one thing. a one hour sale just started at dunkin donuts.

Yeah it's about time. It seriously was time to do this. Since they let him race long past when he should of, I had some delusional hope that he'd somehow, by some miracle make 1 last big-time summer campaign where he was very competitive and set up for a BC run (keep in mind I said delusional for a reason). But I'm glad his connections finally came to their senses and did the right thing for him.

Can only speak for myself, but I love Funny Cide. I just thought this should've been done a long time ago.
