Actually it is the farthest thing from fact I have read lately. What it is is more excuses from connections that claim Funny Cide doesn't like a wet track despite the fact ( and this is a defendable fact ) that his best race ever, the Preakness, was run over a wet track.
The simple FACT is that he ran in the Woodward for God knows what reason, I doubt privately Barclay would take credit for this foolish decison, and was, of course, way over his head. If that is the reason he supposedly doesn't like Saratoga, coupled with his solid second to Evening Attire, then I will have to beg to differ.
The very simple fact is the majority of his races the last two years were in spots he couldn't win.
