Tagg, if you read this board, I found a race for you:
Sept 30, 2006 GII $300,000 added Massachusetts Handicap-Suffolk Downs (SUF) I can't see many top handicap horses prepping in the Mass Cap 5 weeks out for the Breeders Cup, but I could be wrong. It's not hot in Boston at the end of September, either. If this isn't the perfect spot for him, I don't know what is. If they race him in Woodward, I imagine it's the Sackatoga boys forcing it down Tagg's throat. Come to Suffolk, Barclay!

maybe they think some of showing ups talents have rubbed off on funny cide.
ya know, it's a shame really. we all decry the fact that derby winners disappear faster than a tax refund check in a wal-mart, and here's this guy still trudging on. it would be nice if he could do SOMETHING....

This past summer when he came out in the morning she would say it and noone would say a peep. It is sad. here he is still racing and trying and not really appreciated for his gameness and just the fact that hes still trying, even if hes not as fast as he used to be.

he's winning and in the money all the time. i'd say he's in top form. Suffolk spotted a good race for him... a lot of "fans" can't remember who ran last week let alone win, when did FC win the KD ? ummmm, ahhh...
i do appreciate oracles's first hand observations such as this. even his take on the personalities of Barbaro and Showing Up were fun to read.

I am not overly impressed with the apparent Woodward lineup. I think Funny Cide has a decent shot against this group. As has been said many times, the handicap division is not very deep this year. I'd be willing to bet FC finishes in the first half of the field. And there's a distinct chance he could win it.

Barclay shouldn't have any complaints about the weather or track condition for the Woodward. As of now, it looks like the track will be fast and the temp about 75. Finishing 3rd gets him 60K, the same as winning a 100K state bred stake.

Are they even holding the Mass Cap this year? They shut it down last year, IIRC.

What year was it - 2004 maybe - where there was that three way stretch duel in the Mass Cap betwixt Funny Cide, Offlee Wild, and some long shot? Offlee Wild won by a head or so, I think. Gotta love those Wild Agains.

I love any race the Funny Cide runs in. The New Yorkers will also drop some cash on him to win and he never does. Keeps the odds of a horse that I love as an underlay. Got to love those New Yorkers when it comes to Funny Cide.
