Kings Point Handicap. Ungraded stakes I guess and I've never heard of those other horses..might just be out of the loop. What do y'all think of this latest round? It's a mile and an eighth at Aqueduct, this Sunday for $65,000.

The King's Point is restricted to NY-Breds, hence its lack of graded status. Funny had it on his schedule last year, but didn't make the race.

4 horse field, NY breds, apparently had a bit of a tussle toward the end but fought back and won.

Congrats, Funny Cide. Great to see the old boy is still a winner. :D

This was a game race for him. I hope it gives him a bump toward winning more races. I'd love to see him run through the ages. :wink:

The next race listed as being under consideration for him is either the Pimlico Special or the Schaefer. What do you want to bet the Sackatoga crew is pushing for the Special, while Tagg is being realistic and knows the Schaefer is a spot where he can actually do well?
