Default Funny Cide 10 today

Born April 20th 2000 a few blocks from Saratoga Funny Cide went on to become the fisrt New York bred in modern day history to win the Kentucky Derby. More importantly in opened the door for thousands of fans to join in and become owners.

Let's not forget that the Derby "bluebloods" always arrive in chaufferur driven Limousines, this bunch from Upstate New York arrived in Churchill in a SCHOOL BUS in 2000 to witness this race and walk away with the grandest of trophies in our sport!

Happy Birthday FUNNY CIDE.

We got to see him at KHP's HOC a few weeks back. He's settled in nicely but still doesn't like to be groomed. He sure gobbles up his treats. Sweet boy.

Here's a pic taken of him April 1, 2010.

It's Hitler's birthday too but I'm not going to make a thread about it. Not that Funny Cide is Hitler.

I hope he's allowed to get drunk and get the hell away from his wife for an hour or two like I plan to do every birthday. It rarely works out as well as I plan though.
