excerpts from the albany times union:
He (funny cide) hadn't run in a Grade I race in 14 months, and the result then essentially was the same, a 19-length blowout loss in the Suburban Handicap.
"I don't think he belongs in Grade I's, no," Tagg said.
Funny Cide was supposed to head to Illinois to run in the Grade II, $500,000 Hawthorne Gold Cup. That now seems highly unlikely. Tagg wants to run the horse in New York-bred races, where he can compete.
---just remember what the trainer said next time funny cide gets put in over his head...it won't be taggs idea, that's for sure.
