Funny Cide is still a very nice horse. He had won two of his last three, one of which was a $180K grade 3 race. He belongs is grade 3's and grade 2's that don't come up tough. A weak grade 1 like today is still too much for him.
The $250,000 Hawthorne Derby (Grade III) in a few weeks is likely his next race. He should have a great shot there.

You just wish the owners of Funny Cide would understand that he is not a top level runner anymore. He only really was for about 3 months that one year. He's one of my favorite and it is upsetting to see him forced to race in spots that are way over his head.
