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.

Ha Ha, that was in Canada. I should have said, when he races in New York. Sorry about that Slot.

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

Cut him some slack...why should I? The horse was absolutely perfect and wonderful for a 3 month period in 2003. I mean he was a joy to watch run. I loved him in the Derby and loved him even more in the Preakness. I got smart and bet him to win in the Preakness. But since then he has been dreadful. Yeah Yeah, he still makes money and still is racing and that is awesome. And I love when he races in New York. New Yorkers will bet him down to 2-1 or lower. Therefore giving me square odds on the horse that I like. Oh, I am not from Ohio. I am from Indiana. And he has done better than any Indiana bred I know of

Here's the thing, euro, Funny Cide is a six year old gelding. Every horse he competed against as a 3YO is retired now (Buddy Gil excepted, of course). He's run well beyond what the normal racing life of a top stakes horse is. Cut him some slack.

Again, I dont care who is left from 2003. There is no slack to give. Lava Man and The Tin Man are still getting it done. I used to love when Perfect Drift would race in the Mid West. All those mid-west people would bet on him down to 8/5. Now you dont get that anymore. But you still get it with Funny Cide.
