Naughty New Yorker wheeled back from the Woodward ... and won.

What would Funny Cide have done here?

We'll never know ... the race wasn't on national TV ... so no chance for the Sack-O-Kakas to extend their 15 minutes of fame.

Who cares how Funny Cide would have done? Why does it matter? And if you owned a horse that won 2/3 of the Triple Crown, you probably would want to only run him in races that were on TV.

Yeah ... it's got to be a lot of fun watching your horse toss out the anchor ... and drag home 20 lengths behind.

And it matters because anyone who loves this game ... feels embarrassed watching a former champion wobble home in G1 races ... when he could be bounding home in front in races more appropriate to his current ability ... like today's.

Let Funny Cide be Funny Cide.

Funny Cide might run in the Brooklyn this weekend. I rather win that than this race.

You'd rather win it ... but Funny Cide won't.

How's that for a prediction, Nostra?

It depends who shows up. His work today was a little slow, but I think that was the plan. 9F should suit him. I say he wins against a weak field.

Barclay now makes all the decisions. I doubt he romps, but he should be fine. He really likes the Belmont track a lot more than Saratoga.

Can you imagine if the silliness you spew was anywhere close to the truth?

It means telling everyone how great a horse looked AFTER the race is over instead of before.
Its an awful thing.

Hey ... it's the easiest way to pick winners ...

... it never fails ... unless your name is Jan Rushton ... who rarely knows who won even after the race.

If you don't even know who's running before the race, or even what race you're on, how can you be expected to know after?

Give her a break. It's hard maintaining that consistent level of uselessness.

Don't let this out but he's not winning that race either.

He's yet another wannabee insider.

It's so tiresome.

My brother and Braxton know plenty and I have learned plenty from them. I am too young to be an insider but I can assure you I have been around some of the best horses in the world.

Your brother knows Toni Braxton? Is he getting any? How is she?

It is a prep for that race. Same distance. This field is going to be a weak grade 2. He has talent to run in weak grade 2's and grade 3's.

He had a slow work today in preparation, but I think he will enter and see what shows up. There is not much out there for him.

How about the Gen. MacArthur?

Ooops ... sorry ... they just ran it without him.
