It was a weird race.

I totally agree ( though I am guessing the writer meant abhorrent ). All of Funny Cide's good races have been on the engine, something Mig figured out, and with the scratches yesterday there was very little pace....so what did Corny do....strangled him into submission and took away his edge. Would he have won? I don't know, but he certainly wasn't given a fair chance.
