Funny CIde did amazing!!!!! But did you guys see the Cliff's Edge? He broke down in that race and suffered a career ending injury, but still had the determination to get 3rd. I don't have a doubt that he would have won. But Funny Cide deserved this one, too!
Santos rode great. If anyone knew Funny Cide you knew he hated being in between horses, so Santos pulled him back and put him on the outside to make a nice run down the stretch to win the Gold Cup.
Funny Cide was certainly one of the most popular horse of the last 20 years, especially in New York. His owners knew they had a special horse, and they wanted to share their fun with Funny Cide's fans.This was his only gr.1 win after the Preakness. But, how many Derby + Preakness are still running and winning stakes as a 7 year old?
When he won this race, I leaped out of my chair and whooped like a dork. This was the one race I wanted him to win, from the beginning of my being a fan of his, since this was once the biggest race an older horse could win, back before the Breeders Cup Classic, and it was at his home track of Belmont.

this was his last good race, the way he came back gave everyone hope. And then he showed that this was just a fluke when he got romped in the Classic

He did look like he was done coming into the stretch,but he once again lived up to nickname. He was what you would call pure hickory!
