Zieg its amazing how his personna has fallen. A couple of summers in a row when he came out to breeze or just gallop in the morning Mary Ryan would say and hers Funny Cide and people would clap or cheer or go ooohhhh.
This past summer when he came out in the morning she would say it and noone would say a peep.
It is sad. here he is still racing and trying and not really appreciated for his gameness and just the fact that hes still trying, even if hes not as fast as he used to be.

he's winning and in the money all the time. i'd say he's in top form. Suffolk spotted a good race for him... a lot of "fans" can't remember who ran last week let alone win, when did FC win the KD ? ummmm, ahhh...

i do appreciate oracles's first hand observations such as this. even his take on the personalities of Barbaro and Showing Up were fun to read.

bah, fans...so many only love you when you're a winner. he finds the right way sometimes.

it wouldn't break my heart one bit for him to win if he goes. but then, i can't remember the last time a horse winning bothered me...


oh wait...yeah, i can.

G--D--- birdstone....

sorry, that comes over me about three times a year. i'm good til december now!
