It's no different than Evening Attire running at 9. FC and EA finished right next to each other in the Wagon Limit.

I think he'd be bored in retirement.

Perfect Drift and Funny Cide would make good life partners. They could share the same stall, have a wedding and the owners could sell the story to Extra! or Access Hollywood.

I can't imagine a horse could do that for 15 years (I'm assuming that's how much longer he'll live) and not get bored. If he's healthy, 1 or 2 more racing years against NY competition won't hurt.

As his swan song they should enter him in a $10K claimer and let him crush the field (hopefully he still could).

So in other words, no gelding should ever be retired, because they might get bored by 15 years on the farm as opposed to 13-14 years on the farm, which apparently will be a blast.

I hope the ole boy can run a good one even if at FL. Regardless of his record and "hand full" personality , showed us great courage. As players ....that's what we want.
He was born down the street not far from a very close friend of mine who resides on Saratoga Lake, NY. I know my friend and his horse racing TV family will watch him go. Happy 4th to all.

Funny Cide wins by 2 lengths. Time was kind of slow 1:51.77. Then again, I'm unfamiliar with how fast or slow FL plays. Johnny Bye Night second.
