What race could Belmont write for him that would guarantee a win? The Funny Cide Stakes, restricted to only horses named Funny Cide? He's out of allowance conditions, he's been beaten up by NY-breds over and over again and he obviously can't hack it in graded stakes company. What other choices does he have?
Optional claimers at 100K, which he already won one.

He won one how long ago? He ran in an opt. claimer at Keeneland this spring and got crushed.

$100,000 optional claimer > $100,000 stake at Finger Lakes.
