Additional Description
ORIG 44.00. Read by Jamey Sheridan. Approximate running time of 6 hours.
In 2003, a three-year-old with an irrepressible personality and the unlikely name of Funny Cide became 'the people;s horse,' the unhearalded New York bred gelding who - in a time of wat and economic hitters - inspired a nation by knocking off the champions and their multimillionaire owners and sweeping to the brink of the Triple Crown.
Trained by a journeyman who had been kicking around racing for more than thirty years looking for 'the one,' but refusing to compromise his standards; ridden by a tough-luck jockey fighting to regain his position after years of injuries and hard knocks; and owned by a tiny stable founded by a band of high school buddies from Sackets Harbor, New York (pop. 1,386), who tossed in a few thousand dollars each to follow their dream, Funny Cide became a blue-collar hero with a bit, his story crammed with colorful characters - only one of whom happened to be a horse.' - from the blurb.
