Perhaps he needs a winter break. Turn him out in a nice big pasture and let him be a horse. Perfect Drift seems to come back ok after they turn him out for the winter.

Default Please Retire Funny Cide!!!!!!!!

"Perhaps he needs a winter break. Turn him out in a nice big pasture and let him be a horse. Perfect Drift seems to come back ok after they turn him out for the winter."

Thank you, that is what I've been thinking for a few years. I know that Funny Cide has been given time off over the years, but I am under the impression that he always remained at the track. I don't know, that is just the impression I always got. Does someone here know if he has been turned out at a farm somewhere for his time off? This might seem trivial to some,,but trust me, as a horseman, it is NOT!

Sorry if I sound out of the loop, but I guess they aren't running him in the Gold Cup this weekend?

The Gold Cup isnt this weekend, its next weekend, 10/7.
And no they are not running him. Hes going to have a nice little vacation away from the races. He wont run again this year.

I would love for them to run him over at Moutaineer for 3000, then I would go snatch him up. He should keep running until he cant run anymore, hes still a crowd draw. Infact, hes still a good horse if he were ever placed in the right spots with the right spacing between runs

I'd hate to see what Gold Cup you'll be watching on the 7th, Gander.

LOL! Maybe the Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont. You'll have to let me know who wins the Hawthorne race. And Funny Cide wont be in either race.
