As his swan song they should enter him in a $10K claimer and let him crush the field (hopefully he still could).

So in other words, no gelding should ever be retired, because they might get bored by 15 years on the farm as opposed to 13-14 years on the farm, which apparently will be a blast.

Everyone here has read your ranting on this subject, move onto your next misson.

I hope the ole boy can run a good one even if at FL. Regardless of his record and "hand full" personality , showed us great courage. As players ....that's what we want.
He was born down the street not far from a very close friend of mine who resides on Saratoga Lake, NY. I know my friend and his horse racing TV family will watch him go. Happy 4th to all.

Funny Cide wins by 2 lengths. Time was kind of slow 1:51.77. Then again, I'm unfamiliar with how fast or slow FL plays. Johnny Bye Night second.

My guess is probably not too bad a time. Looked like a very wet day up there and the track was sealed. I don't understand the neurotic attitudes toward Funny Cide and Sackatoga. He finished in between Malibu Moonshine and Evening Attire his last out and those two battled to get on the board in the grade 1 Suburban. IF he runs in the Suburban, he probably gets on the board. Sackatoga is racing their racehorse. Wow...imagine that. If I'm not mistaken he ran close to a 100 Beyer in the King's Point. Hate to say it but in today's game that can compete in a lot of graded stakes out there.

He's still a good horse...of course my definition of a good horse may be different than others.

Great Job by Funny Cide. Love or hate this horse, its a good thing for horse racing. A former Derby winner still running. I know it's 100k at the flakes, but its still a good effort.

[Hickory Hill Hoff]

I could never hate this horse!

I've heard rumors that provided the race doesnt turn up top handicap horses, Funny Cide will be at Suffolk in September.

That would be great. Only Assault, Tomy Lee, and FC are KD winners to ever run at 7.
