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.
June 23rd, 2010 at 6:20 am
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.

Relatively few remember the Belmont winners, especially if they are whisked away to the breeding shed. Everyone remembers the Derby winners, and people never forget a horse with a story like Funny Cide’s. He went on to have a long and honorable career and was a wonderful ambassador for the sport. Game, set, and match to the “gutsy gelding.”

I miss Funny kisses and hugs!!!

What a Day!!! First NY bred to win the Derby and My son was born, also a NY bred..hehe

Funny Cide did switch leads at the top of the strech, he just switched back to his wrong lead at the 1/8 pole.
June 23rd, 2010 at 11:46 am
Funny Cide ran a monstrous race even though he never switched leads in the stretch

Its a shame that Big Brown didn’t win this year… my personal favorite was Smarty Jones but I just got the opportunity to read-up on Funny Cide and its a real heartbreaker, but people were still cheering for him after the run of the Belmont.
June 23rd, 2010 at 1:20 pm
Yeah, me too. I try to stay detached from the horses I watch but Funny Cide grabbed me and didn’t let go. I’d have loved nothing more than for him to have rolled in the Belmont.

Gosh I love that horse.

speed controls a match race. empire maker has no early speed.
June 23rd, 2010 at 3:32 pm
the problem is funny cide peaked in the first two triple crown races and did nothing after that, save the Jokey club gold cup. Empire maker would destroy him in a match race as seen in the belmont.

What do Eight Belles and Barbaro have to do with the Belmont? Neither of those horses even made it that far (sadly).
Those two examples are completely baseless.

i have a funny feeling about Big Brown winning to but i mean theres always the wet deep muddy tracks like what happened to Funny Cide and then like what happened to Smarty misjudging the distance and then what happened to Eight Belles and Barbaro breaking down
June 23rd, 2010 at 4:06 pm
yeah i know but that isn’t going to stop him. he is just awesome!!!
June 23rd, 2010 at 4:47 pm
Empire Maker was a beast; I’ll give him that. I’d love to see a match race between Funny Cide and Empire Maker. I adore both of those ponies. XD
June 23rd, 2010 at 5:31 pm
I really hope he does; his left front hoof cracked this morning.
June 23rd, 2010 at 5:50 pm
I think Big Brown will win the Triple Crown this year. I just have a funny feeling about it.
