Funny Cide to the Woodward?

[Buffymommy]

Going with a tri box: Sun King/Suave/Second of June


Funny Cide in 4th.

Barclay shouldn't have any complaints about the weather or track condition for the Woodward. As of now, it looks like the track will be fast and the temp about 75. Finishing 3rd gets him 60K, the same as winning a 100K state bred stake.

Are they even holding the Mass Cap this year? They shut it down last year, IIRC.

September 30--Kelso Breeders' Cup Handicap (Belmont Park), Oak Tree Stakes and Yellow Ribbon Stakes (Santa Anita) and Massachusetts Handicap (Suffolk Downs), 4 p. m., ESPN.

The purse is listed as 600K.

What year was it - 2004 maybe - where there was that three way stretch duel in the Mass Cap betwixt Funny Cide, Offlee Wild, and some long shot? Offlee Wild won by a head or so, I think. Gotta love those Wild Agains.

I love any race the Funny Cide runs in. The New Yorkers will also drop some cash on him to win and he never does. Keeps the odds of a horse that I love as an underlay. Got to love those New Yorkers when it comes to Funny Cide.

Nope, surely didn't win last out. Never, ever wins.

Funny Cide has done a lot better than any horse from Ohio. Cut him some slack.

They are indeed, wouldn't be totally surprised if it was the last one either. They have been shutting it down on and off since 2000. Old Suffolk just isnt cutting it anymore. The track needs slots money and it was defeated in this years legislative session.

There is a little hope however, as all three Democrats running for Governor are for expanded gaming to help subsudize towns, schools, etc. So, they may get a chance with a Democrat as Governor.

Sorry for hijacking the thread

Lava Man and The Tin Man are still getting it done.

Your using 2 examples of horses that come around once or twice a decade these days. Back before all these "necessary medications" and before breeding became king, horses actually stuck around for a very long time and competed at very high levels, well into their 7,8 and 9 year old seasons.

Your slamming Funny Cide is totally unfair. Lava Man is on his way to becoming horse of the year. Tin Man just dominated a field of the best turf horses in America and their upcoming matchup will have every racing fan with a pulse on the edge of their seats. Funny Cide may not compete very well at the highest level, but kudos to the owners/trainers for keeping him on the track, even if it is for the sole reason that he lacks a pecker.

I am not slamming Funny Cide. I am saying that I love when he races because he gets bet down with no chance of winning and that causes me to get sqaure odds on the horse that I like. But Funny Cide is a three time Grade I winner so he should be compared to others who are of his claiber.

Agree with much you say here ... It is always good when quality horses stick around regardless of their anatomy . Funny needs all the help he can get, so don't take his pecker away too . He does have one, as do all geldings . The " rest " are history .

Funny Cide isnt a quality horse anymore. This is where the problem lies.

bad enough he has no package....if he could read the horse would be committing suicide.

funny how little respect a winner gets---i mean, stakes winners are a dime a dozen.
