Funny Cide - 2003 Kentucky Derby

2003 Kentucky Derby

As Funny Cide came into the Derby after a second in the Wood, Funny Cide won the 2003 Kentucky Derby between the strong double entry of Frankel's Empire Maker (again with Jerry Bailey in the saddle) and Peace Rules, ridden by Edgar Prado. He won by 1¾ lengths over the favorite Empire Maker, paying $27.60 for every dollar bet to win, before a crowd of 148,530.

Funny Cide's time, 2:01.19, is the tenth fastest time in Kentucky Derby history.
