2003 Kentucky Derby winner Funny Cide was retired July 13 fresh off his win last out in the Wadsworth Memorial at Finger Lakes. Trainer Barclay Tagg said, “He just won a stakes at 7, and everyone had so much fun and excitement out there; the people were wild, according to Robin. We all talked about it at dinner last night, and we felt this was the best time to retire him. I don’t want to wait until he gets hurt or something like that.” They plan to keep him at the track for a while since he enjoys it there and he will keep going out the in the mornings as usual.More from Blood Horse

They could have had Funny Cide run in New York bred stakes races. He would have been able to do well in New York bred races!
