Funny Cide Ready
For his five-year-old campaign. The gelding is wintering at Gulfstream Park and will return to the track later this spring. “The tentative plan is to have Funny Cide make his first start on March 5 in the Grade II, $300,000 Gulfstream Park Handicap…. If he doesn’t make it into the starting gate for that one, Funny Cide may go in the Grade III, $100,000 Skip Away Handicap on April 2 at a mile and an eighth.” I love the Sackatoga gang for continuing to run this fabulous horse — although, I’m sure it’s not that tough a decision for them, since there’s no pressure to breed. If only more owners of stars had similar freedom. (Saratogian)
