Funny Cide

Funny Cide kinda reminds me of Mike Tyson. Maybe he should go on an exhibition tour and then off to greener pastures.

Um, didn't he just miss $150,000 by one and a half lengths? Stick to state bred races and the occassional weak open stakes next year and he'll be just fine. Evaluate him for what he is, a 6yo gelded NY bred and a pretty darn good one at that.

He still looked pretty game to me...

It's a shame though...

When I look at some of the horses who were in my Road to the Roses stables over the years, I think Funny Cide is doing OK. He is still competitive in stakes races at some level. Some of those horses who looked so promising in the winter and spring of the year have been running in mid-to-low level claiming races, and not always winning.

a lot of horses lose more than they win, yet funny is the only one to get constant 'retire him now' threads. it's silly.
we expect horses to stick around, yet when they do we're in a hurry to see them go. having your cake and eating it too i suppose.

Yeah, as long as there are state bred stakes that he can compete in he belongs on the track. When the day comes where he can't even hit top five in those races and claimers are the only option then it is time to retire him.

i wouldn't mind seeing him run in a claiming race, than there would possibly be new ownership!!!

Maybe they can sell him to Tagg so he can make him his pet, because that is all he is right now.

He looked like a horse that doesn't give a sh!t anymore. He runs erratically, like he doesn't care. CV whipped the hell out of him trying to get him interested on the far turn and into the stretch. He made a mild rally and then kind of just said "The hell with this". If he had any interest, he would have beaten this group for fun.

He should be sent to KHP to hang out with John and Cigar. He could tell them about winning the Derby and Preakness and racing in front of a record 103,000 going for the TC. He deserves his place in the sun, not this continuing charade by the Sackacaca boys
