Enough said. Hang up the horseshoes.

Don't put Rickie in that group. I talked to him in '03 when he was playing for the Newark Bears in Bridgeport against the Bluefish. He signed on with the Dodgers. He left the Atlantic League leading the league in hitting.

I dont think people expect perfect drift to win, he never wins. Funny Cide will always be a Derby winner, a gutsy gelding. PD is the slow, boring, pick up the pieces gelding.

[hoovesupsideyourhead]

hes a gelding what else are they to do..run him...and run him..nyra still has a semi load of posters to give away,,and so do i.. anyone want one..

[Danzig]

wow.

all those on here decrying the 'cruelty' of keeping funny cide at the races will be griping like made when bernardini retires...hell, ap warrior retired as well....oh, it's not right they'll say, it's too soon. he should race more. why, if it's so cruel?? why not let them go out a winner, rather than plodding along winning six figures a year when the obviously don't want to do it anymore.

damned if you do, damned if you don't. can't please any or everyone, so i hope everyone just tries to please themselves.

This rant coming from someone whose username ran three times. I saw his NW2 at Saratoga about '80. It was his last race

my screen name has nothing to do with my beliefs on running a horse. danzig was retired due to a serious knee injury... if you're advocating running unsound horses, you won't get much company in that thought.

funny cide is sound, he seems healthy, and unless he has shown he no longer wants to run, i see no reason to quit.

If I remember correctly, Danzig was a Woody/Henryk D horse. He was a son of Northern Dancer who retired after 3 races as a 3 yo and now has two million stakes winners and 5 million unsound offspring following in his footsteps

I don't think Danzig ever ran at Saratoga. I know he was scratched the final time he was entered, and that was at Monmouth, in a race eventually won by 15 lengths by the mighty Amber Pass ( in the days when horses we actually good ).

I am pretty sure I was at the Spa for his third and final race, an allowance win ...'81? '82? The memory isn't what it used to be so I may be wrong.
