but there is one very interesting aspect to the Funny Cide story.
if he had NOT been gelded and they retired him after the Belmont Stakes,
he would be viewed on equal terms with smarty jones from a historical perspective.

everyone wants to think of Funny Cide as a bad KY Derby and Preakness winner, but the truth is that he was just a good 3YO who peaked at the right time and then got old real quick.
nothing at all to be ashamed of.
same thing would have happened to smarty jones if they had not saved his as* and retired him.
