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.

“He believes without reservation that Kentucky is the garden spot of the world, and is ready to dispute with anyone who questions his claim. In his enthusiasm for his State he compares with the Methodist preacher whom Timothy Flint heard tell a congregation that “Heaven is a Kentucky of a place.””
