Do you remember Funnycide back when he almost won the triple crown?
he just broke a double digit losing streak.nobody even that when you almost win the 2003 triple crown(after controversaly winning the kentucky derby when everybody said that the jockey used something other than awhip on Funnycide)
Actually Funny won his last race and is now retired - Saratoga will have a special day to honor him coming up in August. He *MIGHT* become a pony, but that decision hasn't been made. Like any race horse he'll need time off to unwind then several options have been mentioned, one of which was a pony; another was maybe a show horse and I'm sure the KY Horse Park would welcome him as with other top geldings residing there.
