I think Big Brown will win the Triple Crown this year. I just have a funny feeling about it.

maybe that's the way it should be...to me he was a one of a kind horse and a one of a kind story about a bunch of guys who came on a school bus to here with a horse they thought had a chance, and you know what? They made the most of it.

I think Cigar is in denile, he still thinks he's a stallion! But Funny Cide was the only horse who came up to me and my mom too! I liked him sense that day and always will, because he wasn't one of those stuck up TB's!

I met him today. He was kinda bratty, he nipped at my friend.

No, Funny Cide was bought for 75,000. The original group form Sackets Harbour did put in 5000 each, but Funny Cide did not come till later. They had gone through about 4 horses by then. They had a good stakes horse at one point that they lost in a claiming race. With the 65,000 they got for that horse, Barclay Tagg recommended they buy Funny Cide. There were 10 partners involved with Funny Cide.

wrong, it was $20,000, each of the four man contributed $5000. Thats what made this horse special.
-
excuse me it was $75.000 dollars.

I saw Funny Cide on Derby day this year at the KY Horse Park. I gotta say, while Cigar and the other hall of champs residents totally ignored my mother and I, Funny Cide came right up to us and was super friendly, what a cutie and it's amazing how I saw the horse that had this wonderful run within 2 feet of me!!!

Such a great legend without a doubt. You gotta love the gutsy gelding. :)
April 23 is his 9th birthday, which is the day I'm writting this comment.

i have to agree with bigbird94,as a lifelong saratoga resident i was all for funny cide,but the guys from sackatoga stables were inexperienced and greedy,and had no clue what to do with a horse of this caliber,and also you will almost never see any distorted humor offspring give up in the heat of battle,thanks for the video cf1970.

Loved Funny Cide but his is the story of people being thrust into the spotlight and the horse suffers through some horrible decisions of which races he should have run in. Piss poor management cost us a fantastic career. If anyone can get footage of his race at belmont in the suburban handicap with peace rules and newfoundland you'll see a horse with tremendous heart being "rated" for a mile in a mile and a quarter race. Santos damn near killed him and it's a wonder he ran on so gamely .

The 2004 Suburban footage is on youtube via user "partymanners". What a great race that was. Gutsy Funny Cide nearly pulled it off.
Take care.

I had the trifecta this day, I really like Funny Cide. I think its fair to say Empire Maker was the better horse (as the Belmont showed), but that bruised hoof really hurt his Derby performance. On the other hand, it sure was great to see the "gutsy gelding" hit the wire in front.

Congrats. I like FC too. He was very gutsy, but I tend to agree, EM was the better horse based on sheer ability. His bruised hoof likely did hurt his Derby run. Yep, FC winning and having that shot at the TC made for great theatre for sure. We need more of that in the sport, and right now! 2007 is shaping up to be historic with Discreet Cat and Invasor. Let's hope they are pitted against each other a lot! Thank for stopping by. Take care.
