Default You Guys are Too Hard on Funny

Okay maybe he was overmatched in the Woodward.

But still if you are going to knock Funny Cide's attempt at a Grade 1, then you have to give the SAME attention to Naughty New Yorker, Flower Alley, and Suave (didn't Suave finished DEAD last?). I don't see anyone saying Suave is finished.

Although some did mention Naughty New Yorker shouldn't be in the race, he wasn't given nearly the same amount of criticism as Funny Cide got from some of you.

Oh yes and of course Flower Alley must be injured, but not Funny Cide oh no. It's because Funny Cide must suck.

I'm not saying Flower Alley is not injured, but there's always a possibility he just doesn't want to run anymore. Maybe the long layoff has made him lazy.

Also I think it's great that everyone remembers Funny's Derby and Preakness wins, but nobody ever seems to recall he is the 2004 Jockey Club Gold Cup Winner.

I mean if we must knock every decision the owners of Funny Cide make, then where does it stop? Why not elimate all G3 type horses from ever attempting a G1 again? Better yet why not limit G1 races to just the "super horses" like Bernardini and Invasor and make short little 4 or 5 horse "super" fields. The rest of the field must not have a chance right?

I just think all of you act like Funny Cide is your horse and everyone must know what's right for him but the owners. They gave it a shot and it didn't work out. That's all.
