Funny Cide will go in the Brooklyn

i like the way the odds are looking...ah well, the heavy fav won.

Not a bad race for Funny. Made a move around the turn before he faded but then fought back at the end to grab 4th. Another check earned. Hopefully that sets him up for the Empire Classic. How many other stakes horses have run 9 times this year?

FC dug in and ran a full 9F. Good effort and he was rewarded with $8k.

This is about as good as it gets for Funny Cide these days ...

... plug along gamely in a fake G2 ... and pick up the chump change in a 6-horse field.

Good for him though ... he's doing his best to maintain his dignity ... while getting precious little help from his human connections.

I don't know how good it was for FC. He was third on the turn when Corny put him into a prolonged full on drive. He was never a threat to the leader and managed to get a fourth place check. Considering the strength of this field, isn't that a fairly minor achievement? For me I think he deserves better than to be whipped 25 times to pick up a fourth place check.

He didnt look all that bad. He ran the best race he could. Another check is all that matter to these owners. I really do not believe they are interested in winning or doing what is best for Funny Cide.

I thought he ran ok. The time for the winner was pretty good. Funny Cide should be very competitive in that $250,000 Empire Classic.

I was actually going to bet him today but he was 5/1 with 2 min left and I couldnt at that price. Didnt matter, the day was an utter mess.

WHAT--you cant be serious. Why on earth would you even bet him at 50-1?
