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.

Famous quotes containing the word kentucky:
“The head must bow, and the back will have to bend,
Wherever the darkey may go;
A few more days, and the trouble all will end,
In the field where the sugar-canes grow.
A few more days for to tote the weary load,—
No matter, ‘t will never be light;
A few more days till we totter on the road:—
Then my old Kentucky home, good-night!”
—Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1884)
