Funny Cide is on of my favorite horses of all time. I had the trifecta in the Derby with him, plus I had money on him in the KD future wager. I bet him in all 3 pools. In the first pool he went off 99-1. My favorite race of his was the Preakness. I also got to see him at Saratoga when they had a tribute to Funny Cide day in 03'. The race I was obviously most disgusted with was the Belmont. Ever since that race the sight of Bobby Frankel & Jerry Bailey makes me sick. I never understood why when Smarty Jones went for the Triple Crown Edgar Prado & Mary Lou Whitney were apologizing for winning the race. When Empire Maker beat Funny Cide Frankel & Bailey were acting like a-holes. I thought they showed very little class that day. I hope to see Funny Cide around Saratoga again soon. He did a lot of good things for this sport.
