BELMONT STAKES : 1 2 down, 1 /2 miles to go
BY DICK JERARDI PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS
Saturday, June 7, 2003
PHILADELPHIA — Before Secretariat dominated the Triple Crown 30 years ago like it never had been dominated, people were saying it was too difficult. "I think people had begun to feel that it was never going to happen," said Penny Chenery, Secretariat’s owner. "I understood the feeling of the fans. And the pressure to produce a winner was intense.

FunnyCide is a horse? I've been hearing a lot about FunnyCide over the past few weeks and I just assumed it was some rap singer they were talking about.

ESPN talking head seems to think that the mud will not have any impact on 2 of the 6 horses in the field
Funny Cide was mentioned as one of the two.....
