What have you done for me lately other than run the horse into the ground? The goodwill that might have engendered is surely gone.

I just saw Funny Cide and he is a happy horse. They took some interesting shots with him and I think the Empire Classic is a good spot for him.

A happy horse who gets his head handed to him b/c the human owners are jackasses. I'd be happy to get oats all day and run around in circles also.

He has done ok this year. Barclay would prefer not to run him in grade 1's at Saratoga, but the owners have been good to him. Barclay is a great horseman but he had some tough years in the business. The people that own Funny Cide helped him build the barn and clients he has now. Being a horse trainer is a really tough business. The 2yr old Tagg has now though is unbelievable and he is huge. He might be 17h when it is all said and done.
