It is good comedy everytime I watch this horse race.

There's nothing "funny" about what has been done with this poor horse ...

... he has been repeatedly humiliated by the egomaniacs of the Sack-O-Kaka syndicate ... who fell too much in love with the spotlight ... and who still don't realize that their fifteen minutes of fame have long passed.

I think no one has been more embarrassed by these boors than Barclay Tagg ... a real horseman who is surely aware of his horse's regressed ability.

A true trouper like Funny Cide is indeed to be pitied ... but thank goodness he isn't aware of what has been done to him ... or he would have kicked the kaka out of the entire sad sack.
