Is Funny Cide Ready For The Glue Factory?
filed under Sports Betting : Horseys
We’re not laughing anymore. Saturday’s Suburban Handicap from Belmont was supposed to mark the return to form of near-Triple Crown winner Funny Cide, but bettors weren’t amused. Despite a jockey switch to Jerry Bailey, a training regiment change, and a return to a track and distance at which he’d been victorious previously, Funny Cide didn’t fire, leaving the betting favorite in the back of the pack for the entire race.
Offlee Wild won, with longshot Tap Day in second, and Pollard’s Vision closing for third. Offlee Wild paid $9.20 on the win, and should be considered a serious contender in this fall’s Breeders’ Cup Classic division against the likes of Afleet Alex, Roses In May, and Rock Hard Ten.
