I have a good matchup.

Funny Cide vs. Evening Attire in both of their current states.

Both former JCGC winners. Both having only 1 or 2 years left in them. I admit both of them are kind of slow now. But who would win?

Funny Cide, very easily... Evening Attire's inability to break well from the gate will make life very difficult for him.

My money would go on Evening Attire, he may break slow, but he kicks it in down the stretch.

Love to see him get a glutial. Horses who break like he does(he didn't used to break that way as a younger horse, you don't learn to do that later in your career, its often because of issues behind because when you are sore behind in the glutial area you can't push off) can often be corrected.
This is my favorite old gelding, very favorite. I had some luck with him when he was a younger horse and aways admired his ability.
Kelly is going exteremely well the last 4 months and hes always been a good horseman and a gentleman.
I'd love to see him winning on the inner this winter!!

I agree 100%. Why do I love some geldings more than others?

I'd love it if Saratoga setup a stakes race for the two of them to square off again. Is there any real limit to conditions on listed stakes? Could they just card an overnight stakes for 6yos and up who have won a Graded stakes? That could be a fun race if they boosted the purse to $100,000.

I like the idea of the match race. But you better make sure the temperature is between 68 and 72 degrees or Funny Cide will be a scratch!
