The gutsy gelding is always there. A head away from a Mass Cap victory, a neck and a nose away from a win in The Suburban. The racing gods smiled on Funny Cide in The Jockey Club Gold Cup. It looked as though he was starting to back up at the turn, but Funny Cide unleashed a powerful stretch drive to capture his first grade one win since last year's Preakness and ensure his participation in the Breeders' Cup. With Jose Santos back in the saddle Funny Cide completed the mile and a quarter in 2:02.44
