When I look at some of the horses who were in my Road to the Roses stables over the years, I think Funny Cide is doing OK. He is still competitive in stakes races at some level. Some of those horses who looked so promising in the winter and spring of the year have been running in mid-to-low level claiming races, and not always winning.

a lot of horses lose more than they win, yet funny is the only one to get constant 'retire him now' threads. it's silly.
we expect horses to stick around, yet when they do we're in a hurry to see them go. having your cake and eating it too i suppose.

Yeah, as long as there are state bred stakes that he can compete in he belongs on the track. When the day comes where he can't even hit top five in those races and claimers are the only option then it is time to retire him.

i wouldn't mind seeing him run in a claiming race, than there would possibly be new ownership!!!

Maybe they can sell him to Tagg so he can make him his pet, because that is all he is right now.
